Probably. I don't know much coz I'm tracing back our House, we have a family tree, but I want to create my own project.

Though with my research for us, Sese was changed when the Se's left China, what I'm trying to find now is if it's during the communist takeover or earlier, still vague.

So there's a possibility that Coseco is of a Chinese ancestry as Sese is originally Se. If you are, then maybe we are related. Usually a combination happens when there's an inter-family marriages, and happens usually outside of China.

Hope that helps.

: Very interesting. Other than it being Chinese, does the "co" ending mean something in the Philippines? As for Tuason being "son" and "tua"; what did it each mean originally? In Licauco I guess the surname could be Li and personal name Cau, and in Tanchanco surname is Tan (Hokkien) or Chen in Mandarin and Chan the personal name. Coseco and Cotoco are harder to fathom.

: : I'd like to know the origin of the Coseco surname.
: : Is it chinese in origin like the Cotoco? The only
: : difference I can see is the middle spelling "se" and
: : "to". As a professor in AdamsonUniversity here in Manila, Philippines said that surnames that end with "co" are chinese in origin.
: : The surnames like Tuason, is originally son tua, as
: : chinese christians and because of Spanish occupation
: : forced the chinese to somehow, modify their surnames
: : but have distinct uniqueness to be able to identify.
: : Like the Licauco, Tanchanco etc. notice the "co" at
: : the end. Hope you can enlighten me more...
