The history of the last name Manlutac

The surname MANLUTAC is believed to have originated in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period, which lasted from the 16th to the 19th century. It is thought to be derived from a combination of Spanish and native Filipino words, reflecting the cultural blending that occurred during that time.

One possible origin of the name is that it is a portmanteau of the Spanish words "manlutar" (to cook) and "taco" (a type of Filipino rice cake), suggesting that the original bearer might have been a skilled cook or baker. Alternatively, it could be derived from a place name or a description of a particular location associated with the family's ancestral homeland.

Records from the Spanish colonial era are scarce, but a few historical references to individuals with the surname MANLUTAC have been uncovered.

Another reference appears in an 18th-century church registry from Pampanga province, recording the baptism of a child named Maria MANLUTAC.

One of the earliest known bearers of the name was Pedro MANLUTAC, born in 1789 in the town of Biñan, Laguna province. He was a farmer and landowner who played a role in the local resistance against Spanish colonial rule. His descendant, Juan MANLUTAC (1832-1901), was a prominent figure in the Philippine Revolution, serving as a military leader and later as a provincial governor.

Another notable individual with the surname was Feliciano MANLUTAC (1854-1928), a respected educator and author from Bulacan province. He wrote several books on Philippine history and culture, and his work helped preserve traditional knowledge and folklore.

In the 20th century, one of the most well-known bearers of the name was Emilio MANLUTAC (1914-1985), a celebrated artist and sculptor. His works, which often depicted scenes from Filipino life and mythology, are displayed in museums and public spaces across the country.
