Etymology
The family name is derived from a Spanish phrase, “ve” meaning “to see” and “luz” meaning “light”. In the day when Filipinos were better versed in Spanish, the name was pronounced [ve'-luth]. However, its present-day pronounciation is [ve-luz'].
Our Line
Though not yet confirmed, the original home of our Veluz line is said to be Luisiana, Laguna. However, Del Gallego, Camarines Sur is more reliably considered to be the family’s ancestral home town. Macario Veluz is the earliest known patriarch of our branch of the Veluz Clan.
