José Rizal adopted the surname "Rizal" in 1872 as a means of honoring his mother's family and to distinguish himself from other members of his family who had the same first name. The name was derived from the Spanish word "rizal," meaning "green field" or "meadow," which is associated with the idea of growth and development. He used this surname in his writings and activities as a reformist, which played a significant role in the Philippine nationalist movement.
