Present day chroniclers say that the name was derived from the word “tagay,” a kind of plant that grows abundantly in the northern part of the province. Thus, “Catagayan” which means a place where the tagay grows abundantly was shortened to “Cagayan,” the present name of the province.

The Gaddangs actually also call themselves Cagayan.---Kasumi-genx (talk)

Inconsistencies with Juan de Salcedo

According to this page, Juan de Salcedo, a Spanish conquistador, traced the northern coastline of Luzon on the 29th of June, 1583. This is in consistent with his Wikipedia page, wherein it is stated that he died on the 11th of March, 1576. He would have never been able to trace the northern coastline of Luzon if he had died that early. Which of these are true? Is this the correct Juan de Salcedo, perhaps? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlod (talkcontribs) 02:21, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
