4. Introduction and History of Names
The history of names is so ancient that no one
knows the beginning of the story. Since written
history began, and as far back as oral history
reaches, people have had names. It is therefore
impossible to do more than guess at how the
earliest given names were chosen. Most names
appear to have had some sort of original meaning,
usually descriptive, rather than being simply a
pleasing collection of sounds.
Home

5. A personal name or full name is the set of names by
which an individual is known and that can be recited
as a word-group, with the understanding that, taken
together, they all relate to that one individual. In
many cultures, the term is synonymous with
the birth and legal names of the individual, seen
below. The academic study of personal names is
called anthroponomy.
Home

6. In Western culture, nearly all individuals possess at
least one given name (also known as a first name,
personal name, forename, or Christian name),
together with a surname (also known as a last name,
or family name)—respectively, the Thomas and
Jefferson in Thomas Jefferson—the latter to indicate
that the individual belongs to a family, a tribe, or a
clan. Where there are two or more given names,
typically only one (in English-speaking cultures
usually the first) is used in normal speech.
Home

7. A person's full name usually identifies that person for
legal and administrative purposes, although it may
not be the name by which the person is commonly
known; some people use only a portion of their full
name, or are known by titles,
nicknames, pseudonyms or other formal or informal
designations.
Home

8. “Passing down first and last names isn't used among
all populations, but we can think through the ways
that names are passed down among different
populations to make some educated guesses about
the origin of naming conventions. Naming is a
cultural practice, so we can limit our discussion to
species capable of culture (humans, recent ancestors,
and possibly the great apes).
Home

9. Names have always been needed to identify persons.
One name sufficed in the early days when
populations were not large, but eventually a second
name was needed as the populations increased. An
identifying name, usually descriptive, was then added
to the first, or given, name .One method to identify
someone was to use a descriptive word that referred
to the individual or his occupation. Similarly, the
history of surnames.

10. Studying about “Nagan ti Sirok Latok” is important
because it helps people to know the reason behind
this belief, it answers a lot of questions that we need
to know, and it gives information on why do we need
to have name, giving a Siruk ti Latuk name is not
much necessary and important because it is an
alternative way to medicate a person who is sick but
before you’re going to have a Sirok iti Latok name,
you must undergo first to the rituals by the help of
“agtallado”.
Home

11.  We desire to conduct the research at barangay

understand the culture and also the dialect they

14. Claveria Decree 1849
On the 21st of November 1849, the Governor
General of the Philippines, Don Narciso Claveria y
Zaldua, issued a law (thereafter called the Claveria
Decree) requiring Filipinos to adopt Spanish and
indigenous names from the Catalogo Alfabetico de
Apellidos for civil and legal purposes (The notion
that this decree mandated the use of Spanish
names is false). The fact that majority of the people
selected Spanish names perhaps reflected the
prevalent colonial mentality that a foreign name
would make one’s family appear more
distinguished.

20.  ALBULARYO
 In the rural areas, by tradition and because of chronic
economic constraints, the albularyos are the general
practitioners, the primary dispensers of health care. As with
other healers, there is usually a history of a healer in the
family-line, their healing a continuum of a "calling," the
or ability bestowed by a supernatural being, often, attributed
to the Holy Spirit. Often lacking in formal education, his skills
are based on and honed from hand-me-down practices and
lore, with a long period of understudy or apprenticeship with
a family elder or a local healer. Years of patience and study
bring the healer into a familiarity with the lore, rituals and
modalities of diagnosis and healing, the
prayers, bulong and orasyon, and the use of herbal
plants. Some acquire an expertise in the art of pulse taking
and diagnosis.
Home

21.  This practice is not totally changing the name of the
sick person; it’s his/her own decision or to his/her
parents if he/she use or not use the name, but
according to our observations here at Maluno Sur
many of the residents are not using their real name
instead they use the name came from sirok ti latok.
Here are some persons using their sirok ti latok
name; “Pablo “-Jonathan, “Ikoy”-Mark Francis,
“Makung”- Mark Angelo, “Idot” -Rizaldy, and
“Inggo”- Prudencio. According to those person they
are using those names because they get cured from
endless sick when they was a child.”
