Cinco
[ˈsiŋkoʊ]Meaning
Spanish and Portuguese for "five"; also a Philippine surname from Hokkien
Background Story
Spanish and Portuguese use cinco for "five". As a surname it comes ultimately from Hokkien, by way of Philippine Spanish Cinco, an alternative form of Sinco or Singco. Those forms are transcriptions in Spanish orthography of a Hokkien name with the 哥 (ko) honorific appended to one of the given-name syllables of the family's original patriarch, and have been used as surnames since the Spanish colonial era of the Philippines.
