Etymology

From Spanish filipino m, from Felipe +‎ -ino, demonym to Spanish las Islas Filipinas (“The Philippine Islands (P.I.); The Philippines”), after Spanish El Rey Felipe II de España (“King Philip II of Spain”). The Spanish term formerly only referred to a male Philippine-born person of pure or majority Spanish descent, synonym to Spanish insular (“islander”) (plural insulares) in the Spanish Colonial Era of the Philippines,[1][2] before it was applied as a nationality for every citizen of the Philippines from the First Philippine Republic during the Philippine Revolution.[3]

Pronunciation

  • Hyphenation: Fi‧li‧pi‧no
  • IPA(key): /piliˈpino/, [pɪ.lɪˈpiː.n̪o]

Noun

Filipino (feminine Filipina)

  1. Filipino language (national language of the Philippines)
  2. (proscribed) alternative form of Pilipino: Filipino (person)
  3. (obsolete, historical) male Philippine-born person of pure or majority Spanish descent[1][2][3][4]

Usage notes

  • Filipino as a language was designated as the official name of the national language, replacing Pilipino, in the 1987 Constitution.
  • Filipino as a person used to refer to a male Philippine-born person of pure or majority Spanish descent, just like the term insular, during the Spanish era of the Philippines, until it was applied to all the natives of the Philippines as a nationality of the First Philippine Republic after the Philippine Revolution in 1898. The term was eventually spelled as Pilipino using the Abakada alphabet in the early 20th century. In 2013, after the Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino (KWF) issued its resolution to rename the country from Pilipinas to Filipinas, it also promoted the use of Filipino instead of Pilipino to refer to a Filipino person and the adjective pertaining to the Philippines. In 2021, the KWF reversed its policy and returned to the previous spelling of Pilipino, which has more widespread use.
