This may have referred to a group of people or a clan known for their tendency to reiterate or repeat certain actions, phrases, or traditions.

The earliest known records of the PAGSOLINGAN surname date back to the late 17th century, when it appeared in church baptismal records and land ownership documents in the provinces of Bulacan and Pampanga. During this time, the Spanish colonial authorities were systematically documenting and registering the local population, which led to the formalization of many Filipino surnames.

One of the earliest recorded individuals with the PAGSOLINGAN surname was Juan PAGSOLINGAN, born in 1682 in the town of Malolos, Bulacan. He was a farmer and landowner, and his descendants continued to reside in the same area for several generations.
