==Etymology==
The etymology of the word "Caraga" is said to have originated from the native word "''Kalag''" which means "spirit of soul". Hence, the whole ''Provincia de Caraga'' of AD 1622 was called "''region de gente animosa''", that is "region of spirited men". Another fictional etymology of the name "Caraga" flows from a local legend as coming from the word "Cagang", a numerous small crabs matting the beach of Caraga, which is also known as "''katang''" to the native Caraguenos. Legend goes that the town was named as such because the first Spanish missionaries who came in the early years of 1600 found numerous small crabs matting the beach.
