(Don Julio Llorente y Aballe) |
ABALLE, , m.n., Spanish, from Latin, Toponym, Original Argawanon Surname. A variant of other Hispanic surnames such as Del Valle, Avalle, and Valle. Refers to “one coming from a valley”, or “living near a valley”. The word valle is derived from the Latin Vallis, which means “valley”.
The ABALLE family name of Argao, Cebu is one of the 700 plus family names adopted in the town in accordance with the Claveria decree of 1849. The family today can be traced to 4 separate lines, but it can be safely concluded that all Aballes of Argao, Cebu came from one person, Jose Patricio (Aballe), who was born sometime 1720-30. The other lines just do not have enough records to show how they descend from this patriarch. One descendant of the family was Don Julio Llorente, who became the first governor of the province of Cebu in 1901.
NOTE: When in parenthesis, the person did not yet have a surname when he/she lived.
