List of Philippine city name etymologies

The more than 120 cities in the Philippines as of 2010 have taken their names from a variety of languages both indigenous (Austronesian) and foreign (mostly Spanish). The majority of Philippine cities derive their names from the major regional languages where they are located including Tagalog (Filipino), Cebuano, Ilocano, Hiligaynon, Bicolano, Kapampangan and Pangasinense. They are written using Spanish orthography in most cases, but a few have also retained their indigenous spellings. The names of thirty-six cities derive exclusively from the Spanish language while at least three have taken their names from the old Sanskrit language.

Of the 120 cities, fourteen are named in honor of an individual while ten are named after saints.
