Chris,
Lomeli comes from Lomellini from Genoa.During the times of Columbus late 1400's, Genoa was an independent city-state and naval power competing with Venice.The Genoese had political ties with Spain at the time and a branch of the Lomellini family became Spanish citizens, eventually reaching the New World.There are lots of Lomeli in the Jalisco region, where my grandmother was from.I hope this helps you out!
