The surname DELUIS originated in Spain during the late Middle Ages. It is derived from the Spanish phrase "de Luis," meaning "son of Luis." Luis is a Spanish form of the name Louis, which ultimately comes from the Old Frankish name Chlodovech.

DELUIS was initially found in the regions of Andalusia and Castile, where it was borne by families of noble or landowning status. One of the earliest known bearers was Juan DELUIS, a nobleman from Seville who was recorded in municipal records in the 1400s.

A notable bearer of the name was Diego DELUIS, a conquistador born in 1523 in Seville. He accompanied Hernán Cortés on his expeditions to Mexico in the 1540s and was later granted an encomienda, or land grant, in the region of Puebla.

Another significant figure was Alonso DELUIS, a 17th-century poet and playwright from Madrid. His works, including the play "El desdén con el desdén" (Disdain Met With Disdain), were popular in the Spanish court during the Golden Age of Spanish literature.

In the 18th century, the name was found in various parts of Spain, including Catalonia and the Basque Country. One notable bearer was Ignacio DELUIS, a Basque merchant and shipowner who was active in the trans-Atlantic trade between Spain and the Americas.

The name DELUIS also has a long history in Spanish-speaking regions of the Americas. In the 19th century, José DELUIS was a prominent landowner and rancher in the Argentine province of Córdoba, while Miguel DELUIS was a revolutionary fighter in the Mexican War of Independence.
