I know that. I am asking for the meaning of words.
- Filipino
The origin of the name “Cagayan” came from the Malayo-Polynesian word “ag” which means water. “Kagay”, where the word ag is present means river, and Kagayan means “a place with a river.” While “de Oro” came from the Spanish word “Golden”.

Thank you. I see. I found that "de oro" was Spanish, so I thought "Cagayan" was also Spanish.
