EN: To appoint; to name
This is the action of making someone 'nombrado'. It’s the moment your boss points at you and says, 'Ikaw ang bagong team lead,'—that’s being 'ninombrahan'. It’s a very corporate or government-sounding word. Think of it as the verb for getting a promotion or a special project, complete with a formal announcement.
From Spanish 'nombrar' (to name) + Tagalog suffix '-han'.
This is the verb form. The object of the verb is the person being appointed. The root 'nombra' comes from Spanish for 'name'.
