The surname, Tecson, is a Spanish transliteration of Philippine Hokkien Chinese: 德孫; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tek-sun; Tâi-lô: Tik-sun. Most Chinese Filipinos whose ancestors came to the Philippines prior to 1898 use a Hispanicized surname, spelled with Spanish orthography using the Abecedario (Spanish Alphabet).
Having a Hispanized Filipino-Chinese surname signifies that a Chinese person has become Catholic. Some adopted the surnames of their Spanish godparents, while others combined modified Chinese names and added honorifics such as -co, -son, and -zon at the end. Many of them intermarried with Filipinos and were integrated into Philippine society.
