MEANING & HISTORY
What does Emong mean?
Emong is formed from Memo with a familiar -ng ending in Tagalog and is explicitly identified with Guillermo. Memo itself is a Spanish familiar form of Guillermo, so the two steps are documented rather than guessed.
This local formation should not be interpreted through the English word memo. It preserves a name relationship without requiring Guillermo to be every Emong's legal expansion.
