Cagayan

}}
Cagayan ( ) is a province of the Philippines in the Cagayan Valley region in the northeast of Luzon Island, and includes the Babuyan Islands to the north. The province borders Ilocos Norte and Apayao to the west, and Kalinga and Isabela to the south. Its capital is Tuguegarao.
Cagayan was one of the early ''provincia''s that existed during the Spanish Colonial Period. Called ''La Provincia de Cagayan'', its borders essentially covered the entire Cagayan Valley, which included the present provinces of Isabela, Quirino, Nueva Vizcaya, Batanes and portions of Kalinga and Apayao. The former capital was Nueva Segovia, which also served as the seat of the Diocese of Nueva Segovia.〔 Today, only 9,002.70 square kilometers remain of the former vastness of the province. The entire region, however, is still referred to as Cagayan Valley.
==Etymology==
Present-day chroniclers hold that the name was originally derived from the ''tagay'', a plant that grows abundantly in the northern part of the province. The term "''Catagayan''”, "the place where the ''tagay'' grows" was shortened to "Cagayan".
Perhaps more conventionally, etymological scholars hold that "cagayan comes from an ancient word that means "river". Variations of this word—karayan, kayayan, and kalayan—all mean river.〔〔http://cagayandeoro.elizaga.net/Appendix/meaning-of-cagayan.html Etymolgy discussion Dr. Lawrence A.
