The surname NUGUID is believed to have originated in the Philippines during the 16th century. It is a variation of the word "naguid," which means "to guide" or "to lead" in the Ilocano language spoken in the northern region of Luzon.

The name can be traced back to the early Spanish colonial period when the Philippines was under Spanish rule. During this time, many Filipinos adopted Spanish surnames, often derived from their occupations or personal traits. The name NUGUID likely originated from an ancestor who held a position of leadership or guidance within their community.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the NUGUID surname can be found in the baptismal records of the Archdiocese of Nueva Segovia, which covers the Ilocos region of northern Luzon. These records date back to the late 16th and early 17th centuries, indicating the long-standing presence of the name in the region.

The NUGUID surname has been associated with several notable individuals throughout history. One such individual was Pedro NUGUID, a prominent landowner and community leader in the town of Badoc, Ilocos Norte, during the late 18th century. His descendants continued to play influential roles in local politics and agriculture for generations.

Another notable figure was Jacinta NUGUID, a renowned poet and writer from the town of Sarrat, Ilocos Norte, who lived in the early 20th century. Her works celebrated the beauty of the Ilocano language and culture, contributing to the preservation of her region's literary heritage.

In the field of education, Domingo NUGUID was a respected teacher and school administrator who dedicated his life to improving educational opportunities in rural areas of Ilocos Sur during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Historically, variations of the NUGUID surname have included spellings such as Noguid, Nuguid, and Nuguid. These variations can often be attributed to the inconsistencies in transliterating Filipino names into Spanish during the colonial era.
