Magindanaw

Etymology

From maginged (“resident”) +‎ danaw (“lake”), which means “people residing at the lake” or “people of the flood”. Compare Maguindanao inged, and Maranao inged.

Alternatively, from Malay maling (“thief, pirate”) +‎ Malay danau (“lake”) or “pirates of the lake”, associated in Malay history with the worst types of pirates from the island, /l/ has shifted sound to /ɡ/. See also Old Javanese maliṅ (“thieves”) and Old Javanese ranu (“lake”). Compare Malay lanun and Iranun.
