Origin
Meaning and origin of Salumbides
The surname "SALUMBIDES" is of Philippine origin and is believed to have originated in the late 16th or early 17th century. It is derived from the Spanish surname "Salumbides," which in turn is derived from the Arabic name "Salim."
The earliest known reference to the name "SALUMBIDES" in the Philippines is found in records from the Spanish colonial period, specifically in documents from the Manila Cathedral, where a baptismal record from 1674 mentions a person with the surname "Salumbides."
During the Spanish colonial era, many Filipinos adopted Spanish surnames as part of the policy of "reducción," which aimed to assimilate the native population into Spanish culture. The name "Salumbides" may have been adopted by a Filipino family during this time, possibly as a variation or adaptation of the Spanish surname "Salumbides."
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the surname "SALUMBIDES" was Juan Salumbides, born in 1724 in the town of Taal, Batangas. He was a prominent landowner and agriculturist during the Spanish colonial period.
Another notable figure with this surname was Marcelo Salumbides, born in 1786 in Manila. He was a renowned writer and poet, known for his works in both Spanish and Tagalog languages.
In the 19th century, the name "SALUMBIDES" gained prominence with the birth of Gregorio Salumbides (1843-1912), a renowned Filipino patriot and revolutionary who fought against Spanish colonial rule. He played a significant role in the Philippine Revolution and was a close associate of Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines.
Another prominent individual with this surname was Isabelo Salumbides (1875-1947), a lawyer, educator, and politician. He served as a member of the Philippine Commission, which acted as the legislative body during the American colonial period.
In the 20th century, the name "SALUMBIDES" continued to be associated with notable individuals, such as Maria Salumbides (1901-1985), a renowned artist and sculptor who played a significant role in the development of modern Philippine art.
While the surname "SALUMBIDES" is not among the most common surnames in the Philippines, it has a rich history and has been carried by individuals who have made significant contributions to various fields, including literature, art, politics, and the struggle for Philippine independence.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers.
