The history of the last name Singson

The surname SINGSON originated in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. It is derived from the Spanish naming convention of combining the parents' surnames, with the paternal surname being followed by the maternal surname. In this case, SINGSON is likely a portmanteau of two Spanish surnames, possibly originating from different regions of Spain.

The earliest known record of the SINGSON surname dates back to the late 16th century, when the Spanish colonizers began keeping detailed records of the local population. The name was commonly found in areas with a strong Spanish presence, such as Manila and the surrounding provinces.

One of the earliest documented individuals with the SINGSON surname was Juan SINGSON, a prominent landowner and merchant in the town of Tondo (now part of Manila) in the early 17th century. Records indicate that he was involved in the trade of agricultural goods and played a significant role in the local economy.

In the 18th century, the SINGSON family gained prominence in the province of Pampanga, where they were known for their involvement in agriculture and local politics. Notable members included Mariano SINGSON (1791-1867), a landowner and politician who served as a local official during the Spanish colonial period.

The 19th century saw the rise of the SINGSON family in the sugar industry, particularly in the province of Negros Occidental. One of the most prominent figures was Emilio SINGSON (1832-1904), a successful sugar baron and landowner who played a significant role in the economic development of the region.

Another notable SINGSON was Graciano SINGSON (1878-1958), a lawyer and politician who served as a member of the Philippine Commission during the American colonial period. He was instrumental in shaping the legal and political landscape of the country in the early 20th century.

The SINGSON surname continues to be prevalent in various regions of the Philippines, particularly in the provinces of Pampanga, Negros Occidental, and Iloilo. While the name has evolved over time, it remains a testament to the rich cultural and historical heritage of the Philippines.
