Sri Rajahmura Lumaya, known in his shortened name Sri Lumay, was the first Rajah and the founder of the Indianized kingdom of historic polity of Cebu. According to the epic Aginid, Bayok sa atong Tawarik, a Bisayan epic story, Sri Lumay was a half-Tamil and half Malay from Sumatra. Sri Lumay was the grandfather of Rajah Humabon. He may be called a semi-legendary figure, as he is found only in the oral traditions in the Visayan epic story of Aginid.
Sri Lumay, ancestor of Rajah Humabon, a half-Malay and half-Indian from Sumatra established Cebu as an Indianized monarchy, and sired at least four known sons, namely Alho, Ukob, Parang the Limp, and Bantug (father of Rajah Humabon). Sri Alho ruled a land known as Sialo which included the present-day towns of Carcar and Santander in the southern region of Cebu..
