Filipino girl names are as stunning as they are diverse. From common classics to newly invented monikers, this list is truly unique and one of the most exciting ones we’ve compiled to date. Word names, nature finds, and more collide in an epic collection that touches on so many styles. We can’t say we’re surprised, as the Philippines are rich in cultures that are both homegrown and introduced from faraway lands. Let’s meet some of these beautiful names together.
Today’s most popular Filipino names for girls are fascinating compared to those stateside. Althea is the most popular girl name according to recent data in 2022, and all we can say is wow! Althea is a gorgeous Greek name meaning “the healer.” She’s not at all common in the U.S., making her an excellent choice if you’d like something special stateside but still common around the islands. Next up is Angel. She’s quite the hot pick in the Philippines, and we’ll dive more into her variants in a minute. Then we have Samantha at #3 followed by Princess at #4. Clocking in at #5 is Nathalie.
From #5 to #10 in ranking, we start to see names we’re used to seeing in or near our own Top 10, including Sofia and her friend Sophia. Meaning “wisdom,” this duo is super popular stateside. Then there’s Jasmine, a floral find with a soft sound. Andrea and Angela make up the rest of the Top 10. Once super common in the U.S., they’re far less popular stateside today but as beautiful as ever.
Themes are evident among Filipino girl names, with combination cuties like Mary Joy common. Mary Grace and Mary Ann are also beloved. You can find unique pairings like Jessa Mae and Angel Mae too. Angel-related names are also popular, including Angeline and Angelica.
Other Filipino girl names are island-specific, such as Luzon, a name inspired by the most frequented Philippine island. She’s just as chic as Milan, Paris, or London yet has an extra oomph of wow from her exciting Z styling. Amihan is another beauty connected to the island nation’s monsoon season and a mythological deity. See Bituin and Rosamie for more unique Filipino finds.
