The history of the last name Bagaoisan

The surname BAGAOISAN has its origins in the Philippines, with records dating back to the late 16th century. It is believed to have derived from the Tagalog word "bago," meaning "new," and the suffix "-an," which denotes a place or location. This suggests that the name may have been initially used to identify individuals who hailed from a new settlement or a newly established area.

Early mentions of the surname can be found in the Catalogo Alfabetico de Apellidos, a comprehensive record of surnames compiled by Spanish friars during the colonial period in the Philippines. This document serves as a valuable resource for tracing the genealogical roots of Filipino family names.

One of the earliest recorded individuals bearing the BAGAOISAN surname was Juan BAGAOISAN, a merchant from the province of Tondo (now part of Metro Manila), who was mentioned in the records of the Galleon Trade between Manila and Acapulco in the late 1600s.

During the 19th century, the name BAGAOISAN gained prominence when Pedro BAGAOISAN, a prominent landowner and community leader from the town of Malolos, Bulacan, played a significant role in the Philippine Revolution against Spanish colonial rule. Born in 1825, he was among the signatories of the historic Acta de la Proclamacion de la Independencia del Pueblo Filipino in 1898.

Another notable figure with the BAGAOISAN surname was Maria BAGAOISAN, a renowned poet and writer from the province of Pampanga. Born in 1870, she was celebrated for her contributions to the preservation and promotion of Philippine literature and culture.

In the early 20th century, the BAGAOISAN name was also associated with the Filipino-American community in the United States.
