The surname LUMAGUI is believed to have originated in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period. It is likely derived from the Tagalog words "luma" meaning old or ancient, and "gui" which could be a variation of the word "gawi" meaning custom or tradition. Thus, LUMAGUI may have initially referred to someone who upheld or practiced old customs or traditions.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name LUMAGUI can be found in the "Catalogo Alfabetico de Apellidos" (Alphabetical Catalog of Surnames), a document compiled by Spanish colonial authorities in the late 18th century to record and organize the surnames adopted by Filipinos during the implementation of theספריד Surnames decree.

She established a successful business producing and selling intricately designed traditional Filipino textiles, helping to preserve and promote this ancient craft.

During the Philippine Revolution against Spanish rule (1896-1898), a military officer named Gregorio LUMAGUI served in the revolutionary forces under General Emilio Aguinaldo. He was recognized for his bravery and leadership in several battles against the Spanish colonial troops.

In the early 20th century, a writer and historian named Joaquin LUMAGUI gained recognition for his works documenting the rich cultural heritage and traditions of various Filipino ethnic groups.
