Glossary of Kapampangan Indigenous Surnames

Intuitively and romantically, each surname is given a meaning that is proximate to its nature and etymology. The assignments of the meanings are mostly guided by the dictionary of Fr. Diego Bergano, from the epistemological and intuitive mastery of elderly Kapampangans about the language, from the feedbacks of Kapampangan scholars and academicians, and of the author’s romantic and meta–linguistic analysis of the surnames.
