About Chamorro names

Chamorro names (CHamoru in the modern spelling) belong to the indigenous people of the Mariana Islands: Guam, Saipan, Tinian and Rota. A typical name pairs a given name from the Spanish era or from English with a family name that is either indigenous or Spanish. More than two centuries of Spanish rule left saints' names such as Vicente, Joaquin, Engracia and Dolores and surnames such as Cruz, Sablan, Camacho and Pangelinan, while older family names lived on beside them: Taitano, Quitugua, Gumataotao, Terlaje, Chargualaf. Many indigenous surnames open with Tai-, a Chamorro word for "without", as in Taitano, usually glossed as "without land".

Because so many families share a surname, a Chamorro family is often "better known as" a clan nickname that sets one Cruz or Santos line apart from another. Those nicknames belong to the families and are not listed here. Another custom shows in the three-part entries: the middle name is commonly the mother's family name, as in Tomas Mafnas Taimanglo.

About four in five entries are full names and the rest are family names alone, for anyone looking up Chamorro last names. Hocog, Atalig, Manglona and Songsong are family names of the Northern Mariana Islands. Spanish surnames appear without accent marks, so Duenas and Muna are written without the tilde some families use.

How to choose Chamorro names

  • Pick the generation first. A grandparent is more likely an Ignacio, Felicita or Trinidad, while a grandchild with the same family name might be Jason, Kayla or Tyler.
  • Use the mother's family name as a middle name for a fuller, more formal version: Emeterio Taitague Chargualaf reads like a name on a diploma or a church record.
  • Match the island. Hocog, Atalig, Maratita and Manglona suit a character from Rota, Tinian or Saipan; Taitano, Quinata, Terlaje and Naputi suit one from Guam.
  • Hurao, Kepuha, Tasi, Pulan, Guaiya and Isa are Chamorro given names in use today. Hurao and Kepuha recall chiefs of the 1600s, and the other four are everyday words: sea, moon, love and rainbow.
  • Call the people Chamorro or CHamoru. "Guamanian" describes anyone who lives on Guam, whatever their background.

Frequently asked questions

What are common Chamorro last names?

Spanish family names such as Cruz, Santos, Perez, Reyes, Sablan and Camacho are widespread across the Marianas. Indigenous family names in the list include Taitano, Aguon, Quitugua, Quinata, Manibusan, Mafnas and Gumataotao, and the family names listed alone make up about a fifth of the entries.

Why do many Chamorro people have Spanish names?

The Marianas were under Spanish rule from the late 1600s until 1898, and Catholic baptism brought saints' names and Spanish surnames. Indigenous family names continued beside them, which is why the list holds both Ramon Quidachay and Gregorio Lujan. English given names became common in the twentieth century.

What does Tai- mean in names like Taitano and Taimanglo?

Tai is a Chamorro word meaning "without" or "lacking". Taitano is usually explained as "without land" and Taimanglo as "without wind". The list gives no meanings for other surnames, because many are not settled.

Do these names belong to particular people?

No. The given names and family names are ones in use in the Marianas, combined freely, so a pairing may match a living person by chance. None of them refers to an individual, and family "better known as" nicknames are left out on purpose.
