Oh I love the story of our surname. I don't know if it's true or if my dad is just pulling my leg. He said that my great-great grandfather used to live in Bicol and has a different surname and when he move to our province, he changed it to our surname now. He didn't use the surnames that the Spanish posted during those times so ours is unique. Whenever I come across someone who has the same surname as I have I know for sure that we're related.

I'm chinese, going by the surname lim. Its very old. We all know it comes from the fujian province in china. My own family has something extra special. The men is given a naming system. Each generation has a special name. There is a list. This list was started by an ancestor who was a high ranking government official during the Ming dynasty.
Unfortunately, in my generation there are no males. So that's that then. Some other family branch elsewhere will carry on the tradition.

My grandfather said that Reyes is a Spaniard's surname. He even told me that Emilio Aguinaldo is our relative though I don't know if that's true. But Cavite is the hometown of Aguinaldo and Reyes is such a popular surname in Cavite. Most Reyes came from Cavite.
