Boxer Codex
Francisco de Sande
Wenceslao Retana

From Hokkien, possibly either:
* 常來 /常来 (siâng lâi / siông lâi, literally “frequently comes”), as labeled in the Boxer Codex (1590) and explained in the Bocabulario de la lengua sangleya por las letraz de el A.B.C. (1617) as per Van der Loon (1967), from which Mandarin 常來人 /常来人 (chángláirén) referring to Sangleys originates and consistent with Francisco de Sande (1576)'s description of “Throughout these islands they call the Chinese 'Sangleyes', meaning 'a people who come and go,' on account of their habit of coming annually to these islands to trade, or, as they say there, 'the regular port'.” as per Adelung (1817), Manuel (1948), and Go (2014-2015)
* 商來 /商来 (siang lâi, literally “trader comes”), as explained in the Bocabulario de la lengua sangleya por las letraz de el A.B.C. (1617) as per Van der Loon (1967)
* 生理 (seng-lí, “business; livelihood”, IPA: /ɕiɪŋ³³ li⁵⁵⁴/) as in 生理人 (seng-lí-lâng, “merchant; tradesman; trafficker”), according to Go (2014-2015) and Manuel (1948) as “sieng-lí” recorded in Piñol (1937)
* 商旅 (siang-lú, “travelling merchant”), according to Manuel (1948) & Hofileña (2011)
* 送來 /送来 (sàng lâi, literally “sent over”) or 生理人來 /生理人来 (seng-lí-lâng lâi, literally “businessman comes”), according to Chan-Yap (1980).
* 誰來 /谁来 (siâng lâi / sâng lâi, literally “who comes”), as per Norberto Romualdez in Manuel (1948) who says that “sangley is a Spanish corruption of sang lay, signifying "who comes", an expression used by the Chinese in the Islands to greet a ship coming from China.”
According to Quilis et al. (1997), Wenceslao Retana (1921) commented before (sic):
"(del chino xiang-lay, mercader.) adj. Nombre que en lo antiguo se dio en Filipinas a los mercaderes chinos, y que luego se hizo genérico de los de esta raza residentes en aquellas islas"
Van der Loon (1967) additionally surmises that perhaps it is not of Chinese origin.
