Some historians tag Lapu-Lapu as a Moro in lieu of Salip and Cali, which could have been a reference to islamic titles Caliph or Kalifah. The Salip should correctly be attributed to derivations like Sarripada, Sipad, Paduka, Seri Paduka, and Salipada. Such names were used to honor the ancient Visayan Datus. Although some quarters would debate that Lapu-Lapu was a Moro migrant and outsider in Cebu, the common practice of tattooing, body piercing and alcohol consumption (which was a part of their culture) are prohibited in Islam.
