This is an exceptionally rare surname. Normally, that means that it is actually a name mangle of a more common surname. And I do mean exceptionally rare.

Of those using that spelling, I've found people from Cuba, Mexico, Phillipeans and Japan.

I can come up with quite a few possible pronunciations. I would suggest asking a few people how THEY would spell your surname just by you VERBALLY telling them the name and see what comes up. You could try figuring out a few alternate spellings yourself and see if one happens to match a much more common surname.

Name mangling, especially during immigration, is very common.

Hi there! I'm not sure if this helps but here in the Philippines Lamig is a word meaning "cold".
