They are a prominent family involved in business, politics, real estate, and agriculture. Historical records indicate members serving as gobernadorcillos during the Spanish era and were later involved in governance, commerce, and civic duties during the Japanese and American occupations. The surname "Lacson" is a transliteration of Spanish orthography from the Chinese-Spanish name "la̍k-sun." Derived from the Hokkien language, it combines 六 (la̍k, meaning "sixth," possibly indicating birth order) and 孫 (sūn, meaning "grandchild") which had also been spelled as Laxon and Laczon by the Spaniards. ::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/The_Ruins_mansion_west_facade_(Talisay,_Negros_Occidental;_10-27-2022).jpg" caption="Talisay City]], Negros Occidental"] ::
