The history of the last name Paguio

The surname Paguio originated in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period. It is believed to have derived from the Ilocano word "pagyo," which means "to wait" or "to stay." This suggests that the name may have been given to individuals who were patient or settled in a particular location.

One of the earliest recorded references to the name Paguio can be found in the 18th century Spanish census records of the Philippine Islands. The name appears to have been more prevalent in the northern regions of the Philippines, particularly in the provinces of Ilocos Norte and Ilocos Sur.

In the late 19th century, a prominent figure named Pedro Paguio (1865-1936) gained recognition as a Filipino revolutionary who fought against Spanish colonial rule. He played a significant role in the Philippine Revolution and later served as a general in the Philippine-American War.

Another notable individual with this surname was Marcelo Paguio (1901-1976), a Filipino lawyer and politician who served as a senator in the Philippines from 1949 to 1955. He was also a member of the Philippine Constitutional Convention of 1971.

During the early 20th century, the name Paguio appeared in several historical documents related to the Philippine Independence movement. One such document was a manifesto signed by various Filipino leaders, including Juan Paguio (1878-1942), a prominent educator and advocate for Philippine autonomy.

In more recent times, the name Paguio has been associated with several notable individuals, such as Rowena Paguio (born 1963), a Filipino-American author and educator, and Noel Paguio (born 1971), a Filipino basketball coach and former professional player.

It is worth mentioning that the surname Paguio may have undergone slight variations in spelling over time, with some historical records showing alternative forms like "Paguyo" or "Pagyo."
