Spelling variations of this family includes:De Gamboa and Gamboa.First found in the basque region of northern spain.Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were Antonio De Gamboa, who sailed to America in 1510;Rodrigo De Gamboa, who sailed to America in 1526 and Pedro De Gamboa, who sailed to Spain in 1535;
The Philippine islands first came to the attention of Europeans with the Spanish expedition around the world led by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. Magellan landed on the island of Cebu, claiming the lands for Spain and naming them Islas de San Lazaro. He set up friendly relations with some of the local chieftains and converted some of them to Roman Catholicism. However, Magellan was killed by natives, led by a local chief named Lapu-Lapu, who go up against foreign domination.
Over the next several decades, other Spanish expeditions were send off to the islands. In 1543, Ruy López de Villalobos led an expedition to the islands and gave the name Las Islas Filipinas (after Philip II of Spain) to the islands of Samar and Leyte. The name would later be given to the entire archipelago.It is believe that one of the spaniards with the surname gamboa got married to a filipina and that is the start of how Gamboa Family stated in the Philippines.
