Cát Hải

[kaːk̚˦˧˥ haːj˧˨]

[kaːk̚˦˥ haːj˨˩˦]

This is very unlikely, since this place is in Northern Vietnam, where there the coda /t/-/k/ merger never happened, unlike placenames like Cát Lái (which is probably indeed các lái (“traders”)) in Southern Vietnam, where this merger did actually occur.
* Compared to the nearby island named Cát Ông (các ông (“men”)). Possibly modelled after the false "etymology" above.

This word most likely originated as a tên chữ used in adminstrative records, translated from the tên Nôm (bãi) Cát Vàng (“Yellow Sand (Bars)”).

This tên Nôm (spelled 𪤄葛鐄 (bãi Cát Vàng)) was attested first in a map from Toản tập Thiên Nam tứ chí lộ đồ thư (纂集天南四至路圖書, 1686) by Đỗ Bá, and was still attested in Dubois de Jancigny's work from 1850 titled L'Univers.
