Origin and meaning

To pass through, go beyond, or pierce through (Tagalog/Kapampangan)

Lapuz is an indigenous Philippine surname primarily found in Central and Southern Luzon. It stems from the native root word 'lapus' meaning to penetrate or exceed, recorded with colonial Spanish orthography substituting 'z' for the terminal 's' sound.

Derived from an indigenous Philippine (Tagalog/Kapampangan) term 'lapus' or 'lapuz', meaning 'to pass through', 'go beyond', or 'pierce'. The final 'z' reflects standard Hispanicized orthography applied during the Spanish colonial era.
