in honor of ?

[Getaway]

Hello,

I want to write a question about where the Philippnes got its name from. The answer is the name was in honor of King Philip II of Spain.

Can I ask the following (in a formal way)?

Q: The Philippines received its name in honor of which Spanish king?
A: King Philip II of Spain

Does the question make sense and grammatically correct?

Thank you.

Hello, Getaway. Your question does make sense and its grammar is fine.

I agree you are correct, but putting "of Spain" is unnecessary since you already said "Spanish king" in the question- just a minor tidbit.
