专有名词
  1. A city, the provincial capital of Zamboanga del Sur, Zamboanga Peninsula, Mindanao, Philippines.

词源

Multiple etymologies exist:
* The city is believed to have been an Iranun trading post in the past, and so a blend of Iranun pagad (“to wait”) + padian (“market”) are widely accepted as the roots of the name.
* Possibly from Central Subanen gagadian, a bird that the native inhabitants call.
* Possibly from the Cebuano word pangadyian (“a place to pray; land of prayers”).
* Also speculated to be derived from Central Subanen pengadian (“school”).
