SOURCE RECORD
The record for Zaldy
Zaldy is recorded in Cebuano without an etymology. A familiar-looking ending does not establish a particular longer name such as Rizaldo, Rizaldy or another similar form.
The consulted source attests the exact name but supplies no parent to justify an inherited root. A reliable exact-form explanation is needed before a commemorative Rizal account or another attractive meaning is assigned.
