Totong is Filipino, Tagalog in Origin.
Totong is a Philippine name/nickname from the Visayan languages - especially Hiligaynon and Cebuano - where toto means “boy” or “son.” It functions as an affectionate hypocoristic conveying “little boy,” “dear son,” or “junior.” Though born as a household endearment, it has at times been registered as a formal given name and remains familiar nationwide in kinship address and pop‑culture monikers.
Usage is fluid: Totong may stand alone or pair with a baptismal name, and alternates with close variants such as Toto (Visayan), Totoy (Tagalog), Toting, and Toton. Outside the Philippines, the name is also found in Sundanese‑speaking West Java as an independent male name, alongside related forms like Otong. Overall, Totong carries warm, familial overtones rather than a specific saintly or classical etymology, making it a cozy, down‑to‑earth choice.
