Hej Kalani, Thanks for all that information!!. Poloyapoy is definitly a Filipino surname but "SOJOT" is actually Spanish in origin. There is a Family-Story about our Sojot Surname. It was spelt something liek "Desojarte" or something which the family still doesn't quite understand. But what they do know from stories pasted down from Generation to generation is that One of the Sojot ancestors left Espana(Spain) because of war and he was a merchant and I guess traded with the Philippines because Espana had rule there at the time. So he went there as it's said. They lived in Cebu somewhere. Also down the line, someone married a Chinese women from Shanghai area. . . In Cebu, they're Visayan's as my grandmother told us. She's Visayan she would say and she say there ar other peoples (Tribes) such as the Tagalog, Illicano etc. So, I'm guessing her Poloyapoy grandparents surname is Visayan. but what does it mean? . My surname is Irish and means "Sea-Warrior" so, I'm taking it that even Poloyapoy has a meaning. There is a region in Espana called Biscaya. I am wondering, because in Espanol(Spanish) the "V" and "B" ar sounding the same. And in The philippines there ar the Visaya's. Ar these two connected in someway?. Did the People of Biscaya in Espana settle in the Cebu area and give it's name to that region?
Much Mahalo from San Diego
