These groups follow language labels in the sources. A label can describe a borrowing, an older root, or a name-item language association. Each profile explains its specific history.
Abing is explicitly recorded in Cebuano as Isabel with the familiar ending ing. Isabel belongs to the Elizabeth name family, ultimately associated with the Hebrew oath-name formation.
Adlaw covers both the sun and the day in Wolff’s dictionary. The entry also distinguishes daytime from night, making this a time-and-nature inspiration rather than a claim about personality.
Adong is explicitly recorded with Adonis and Condrado as familiar-name bases. Its etymology gives Condrado with ng; that exact source spelling is retained rather than silently normalized.
