Origin and meaning

infant male (English)

Derived directly from the English phrase 'baby boy'. Its prevalence in Philippine civil records largely stems from hospital administrative practices where placeholder labels on birth reports were registered as official given names before a formal name was chosen.

Originates from the English vocabulary terms 'baby' and 'boy'. In the Philippines, it frequently entered the civil registry as a placeholder on birth certificates for unnamed male infants, eventually solidifying as a legal first name for many individuals.

Extremely common in civil registration records due to delayed naming at birth in hospitals. Bearers often go by informal call-names like 'Boy', 'Baby', or a secondary nickname, and many pursue legal clerical corrections to update their official names later in life.
