Does “tito” mean uncle in Spanish?

Question

In Flipino uncle is “tito” but in Spanish it is “tio”? Don’t people say “tito” and “titi” in Spanish?

Oswald Hills · Accepted Answer

“Tito” and “Tita” are Filipino corruptions of Spanish words (as “kumosta,” which means “how are you” is a corruption of “como esta”.) Tio is Spanish, so you won’t hear “tito” from a Spanish-speaker.(I hear “Tito” a lot from my Visayan nieces and nephews, though, so for what it’s worth, there’s my source.)

Uncle In Spanish

Oswald Hills · Answer

No, in Spanish “uncle” is “tío”. Maybe you’ve heard Tito as a name. If someone’s name is Roberto, they call him Robertito or Tito. (the last part of Robertito is Tito). Titi is a nick name.A Tití is a kind of monkey, very small.♦
