"Zamboanga" meaning in English

See Zamboanga in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /zɐmbˈwaŋ.ɡɐ/ [Philippines]
Etymology: From Spanish Zamboanga, from Central Sama Samboangan (“mooring place”) from samboang (“mooring pole” - cognate with Malay sembuang) + place marker suffix -an, as attested in the Velarde Map (1734). A popular folk etymology may also attribute it to either Malay jambangan (“flower garden”) or Tausug jambangan (“flower garden”) from jambang (“flower pot”) + -an (“place marker suffix”), but this name has never been attested in any historical records prior to the 1960s with the place being attested usually instead as "Samboangan".
