The name comes from the Philippines, which King Philip II. Spanish explorer Ruy López de Villalobos on his expedition in 1542 named the islands of Leyte and Samar Felipinas after then Prince of Asturias, Spain. Eventually the name Las Islas Filipinas should be used to cover all the islands. Before it was a day of work, other names such as the Balearic islands in the west of the West and the name of Magellan islands of San Lazaro also used to refer to the Spanish islands.
The official name of the Philippines has changed several times during the country history.
