How can a Lapingcao's family name derived from? What is the meaning of Lapingcao?
It sounds Italian or Portuguese.
Reply:Names ending in cao (originally spelled 莽茫o) are generally Portuguese. It is also found in the Philippines due to Portugal's explorations by sea from the 1500s onward. However, you would have to trace your family's ancestry through their specific documentation (vital records, land records, etc.) in order to find your true history.
