conception (Spanish, referring to the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary)
Concepcion entered Philippine naming traditions during the Spanish colonial period as a traditional devotional Marian name. It has historically been given to baby girls born around the Feast of the Immaculate Conception (December 8) or in devotion to the patroness of the Philippines.
