Indio
[ˈɪn.di.oʊ]Meaning
Spanish indio, a native of the Spanish East Indies
Background Story
Indio is Spanish indio, which denoted a native of the Spanish East Indies, especially the Captaincy General of the Philippines. The term was originally neutral in Spanish, as it is for Native Americans in Latin America and Indians from India, and it became derogatory in the Philippines in the later years of the Spanish colonial period, especially during the Philippine Revolution. A user-submitted entry records Indio as a rare masculine given name in Latin American Spanish.
