Viganとは 意味・読み方・使い方

語源

Borrowed from Spanish Vigan, also spelled as Bigan in early maps like the Velarde map (1734), originally from Ilocano Bigàan. Derived from Ilocano bigà (“giant taro (Alocasia macrorrhizos)”) + -an (“locative suffix”), "the place where giant taro abounds." Possibly referring to the Alocasia macrorrhizos plants that once grew abundantly along the banks of the Mestizo River.
