Zamboanga

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary

English

[edit]
Zamboanga City formerly known as "Samboangan", as illustrated in the Velarde map (1734)

Etymology

[edit]

From Spanish Zamboanga, from Central Sama Samboangan (“mooring place”), from sambuwang (“large mooring post”) +‎ -an (locative suffix). The root is cognate with Malay sembuang (“large mooring post”).[1] The original etymon is attested in the Velarde map (1734).

A popular folk etymology may also attribute it to Malay jambangan (“flower garden”), from jambang (“flower pot”) +‎ -an (locative suffix), but this name has never been attested in any historical records prior to the 1960s with the place being historically attested usually instead as "Samboangan".[2]
