Sabung

The name Sabung is derived directly from the Tagalog word 'sabong,' which refers to a rooster or, more specifically, a fighting cock. In Filipino culture, cockfighting (sabong) is a traditional and popular sport, deeply embedded in the country's history and social fabric. While the word itself is masculine in its primary association, its use as a personal name, particularly for females, is uncommon and likely symbolic or given with a unique personal meaning by the parents, perhaps referencing characteristics like spirit, resilience, or a connection to cultural traditions in a non-literal sense. It is not a traditional given name in the Philippines.
