What Does the Name Falando Mean?
No securely documented etymology is available for the name Falando. The clearest correspondence is with the Portuguese word falando, meaning "speaking." It is the gerund of the verb falar ("to speak"), formed with the regular first-conjugation ending -ando. A gerund is a grammatical form rather than a name element with a fixed sense of its own, and it is not established that the personal name was taken from it.
Falando Name History & Origins
The Portuguese word falando is the gerund of falar, which descends from Latin fābulārī, "to talk, chat," itself from fābula, "story, tale." As a grammatical form, the word has a long history in Portuguese writing, but that history belongs to the verb, not to a personal name.
Portuguese given names have traditionally been drawn from saints' names, biblical names, and a settled stock of inherited names; a verb form of this kind is not a usual source for one. If Falando is used as a personal name, it is rare, and no documented path from the word to the name can be traced.
