Parents seeking a Tagalog elemental name for baby may love Kidlat. This masculine Filipino title strikes nicely on the ears and means “lightning,” perfect for the new light of your life. Kidlat was the name of the Philippine mythological god of lightning and loyal son of Bathala. Everyone’s heard of Zeus and Thor by now, making Kidlat an original appellation baby will surely appreciate. There’s no doubt baby will light up every room they enter, so naming them Kidlat just makes sense.
