The history of the last name Inciong

The surname INCIONG originated in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period. It is believed to have its roots in the Tagalog language, which was spoken in the region around Manila and the surrounding provinces.

One theory suggests that INCIONG may have derived from the Tagalog word "intsik," which was used to refer to Chinese people or anything related to Chinese culture. This could indicate that the name may have initially been given to individuals with Chinese ancestry or connections.

Another possibility is that INCIONG is a variation of the Spanish surname "Inchausti," which itself has Basque origins. During the colonial period, many Spanish surnames were adapted and Filipinized, potentially leading to the emergence of the INCIONG surname.

The earliest recorded instances of the INCIONG surname can be traced back to the late 18th century in church records and census documents from the Manila area. One notable example is Juan INCIONG, a landowner and merchant who lived in the town of Binondo in the 1790s.

In the 19th century, the INCIONG name appeared in various historical records from the Philippines. One prominent figure was Mariano INCIONG, a revolutionary leader who fought against Spanish colonial rule in the 1860s.

Another individual of note was Josefa INCIONG, a writer and educator who lived in the early 20th century. She authored several books on Philippine culture and folklore, helping to preserve and promote the country's rich heritage.

During the American colonial period, the INCIONG surname continued to be present in various parts of the Philippines. One notable figure was Antonio INCIONG, a politician and lawyer who served as a member of the Philippine Commission in the 1920s.

In more recent times, the INCIONG surname has gained recognition through individuals such as Manuel INCIONG, a renowned artist and painter whose works have been exhibited both nationally and internationally.
