The history of the last name Saulog

The surname SAULOG originates from the Philippines, specifically the Visayan region. The name likely emerged during the Spanish colonial period in the 16th to 18th centuries.

SAULOG is believed to be derived from the Visayan word "salog," which refers to a small stream or creek. It may have been used as a descriptive name for someone who lived near a creek or a geographical feature similar to a creek.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name SAULOG can be found in the Spanish colonial records from the late 17th century. In these records, a person named Juan SAULOG is mentioned as a resident of the town of Cebu, which was one of the earliest Spanish settlements in the Philippines.

In the 19th century, there are records of a Filipino revolutionary named Gaudencio SAULOG, who fought against the Spanish colonial rule in the Visayan region. He was born in 1845 and participated in several uprisings against the Spanish authorities before his death in 1898.

Another notable person with the surname SAULOG was Emilio SAULOG, a Filipino writer and poet who lived in the early 20th century. He was born in 1885 and published several works in the Visayan language, including a collection of poems titled "Mga Bulan sa Ibabaw" (Moons Above).

In the mid-20th century, there was a Filipino politician named Remedios SAULOG, who served as a member of the Philippine House of Representatives from 1949 to 1957. She was born in 1902 and represented the province of Negros Occidental.

During the Spanish colonial period, the name SAULOG may have had variations in spelling, such as "Saolog" or "Saolig," due to the influence of the Spanish language on the native Visayan names.
