The surname Luebano has its roots in Spain and can be traced back to the medieval period. It is believed to have originated from the Spanish toponym "Luebano," which refers to a small village in the province of Palencia, located in the northern region of Castile and León.

The name Luebano is likely derived from the Latin word "lupus," meaning wolf, which suggests that the village may have been associated with the presence of wolves in the area during the early settlement period. It is possible that the name was initially used to identify individuals who hailed from this particular village or its surrounding areas.

Historical records indicate that the surname Luebano appeared in various documents and manuscripts from the 13th century onwards. For instance, there are references to individuals bearing this name in the census records of the Kingdom of Castile during the reign of King Alfonso X (1252-1284).

Later, during the 15th century, the Luebano surname gained prominence in the city of Seville, where Diego Luebano (c. 1450-1521) was a renowned lawyer and judge.
