Quizon

Quizon is a surname of Filipino origin. It is a relatively common surname in the Philippines, particularly associated with a prominent family involved in entertainment, politics, and business.

The surname is believed to be derived from a combination of two elements, likely local terms or names common in the Tagalog region. The exact meaning of the composite elements is not definitively established, though some speculate potential connections to regional languages and historical figures.

The most well-known bearers of the surname are associated with the Quizon family, originating with the actor and comedian Rodolfo "Dolphy" Quizon, Sr. His prolific career and the subsequent involvement of his children and grandchildren in the entertainment industry have solidified the name's recognition in the Philippines.

The surname can also be found among individuals outside of the entertainment sphere, indicating a broader, though not extremely widespread, distribution across the Filipino population. Further genealogical research might provide a more detailed understanding of the surname's history and geographic origins.
