Meaning and formation
Estrada is a surname from places in Spain and Portugal named for a road. It derives from estrada, ultimately Latin strāta, a paved way. The surname entered Tagalog from Spanish. In Philippine cinema and politics, Joseph Estrada used Estrada as a screen name; his birth surname is Ejercito. That use is distinct from people whose actual family surname is Estrada, such as the actor John Estrada and the basketball player Ernesto Estrada. John has worked in Philippine film and television, while Ernesto played professional basketball.
