The history of the last name Lomibao

The surname "LOMIBAO" is believed to have originated from the Philippines, likely during the Spanish colonial period in the 16th to 19th centuries. It is thought to be derived from a combination of Spanish and indigenous Filipino words or place names.

One possible origin could be from the Spanish word "loma" meaning "hill" or "ridge," and the Filipino word "bao," which might refer to a particular location or geographical feature. It's plausible that the name was given to families residing in a hilly or elevated region.

While historical records from that era can be scarce or incomplete, the name "LOMIBAO" does not appear to be documented in any major historical manuscripts or references from the Philippines during that time period.
