Indexing UK, England, Cumberland Parish Registers 1590-1960

Image is a typewritten transcript/copy of the original documents.

Entries under Baptisms and Burials have the terms filia, fila, fils, fil or fill used as in the following examples:

13 Jun DIXON Isabella filia George

or

10 Feb WHARTON Thome fils Johnnis

What do these terms mean? Is there a way to determine if one of the names listed is a Given Name of the person listed?
