Liwayway is the Tagalog (Filipino) word for "dawn" or "daybreak." Liwayway magazine is the Philippines' longest-running Tagalog literary publication (founded 1922).
Liwayway is rising in the Philippines.
Liwayway does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Liwayway reduce to 2, The Peacemaker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
