The history of the last name Paguyo

The surname PAGUYO is believed to have originated in the Philippines, likely during the 16th or 17th century. It is thought to be derived from the Tagalog word "paguyo," which means "to be blown away by the wind." This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who lived in an area prone to strong winds or storms.

One of the earliest known references to the name PAGUYO can be found in a Spanish colonial record from the late 17th century, where it is mentioned as the surname of a family living in the province of Pampanga. It is possible that the name was originally a descriptive nickname given to someone who had been affected by a particularly powerful storm or typhoon.

In the 19th century, there are records of several individuals with the surname PAGUYO living in various parts of the Philippines. One notable example is Juan PAGUYO, a farmer and landowner from the town of San Fernando, Pampanga, who was born in 1835 and died in 1912.

Another individual with this surname was Maria PAGUYO, a seamstress and businesswoman from the city of Manila, who lived from 1860 to 1938. She was known for her skills in creating traditional Filipino clothing and is said to have dressed many prominent figures of the time.

During the early 20th century, the PAGUYO surname began to spread to other parts of the Philippines, as well as to other countries with significant Filipino communities. One notable bearer of the name was Pedro PAGUYO, a labor activist and union organizer who was born in Cebu in 1905 and played a significant role in the labor movement in the United States during the 1930s and 1940s.

In more recent times, the PAGUYO surname has been associated with several notable individuals in various fields, including politics, sports, and entertainment. One such individual is Lourdes PAGUYO, a former member of the Philippine House of Representatives, who served from 2010 to 2019.
