==Etymology==
Sorsogon comes from a word "sosogon". When the Spaniards had settled in Gibalong, they set out to further explore the inner lands. Upon reaching a small river emptying into what is now Sorsogon Bay, they asked a native they met for the name of the place. The native, not understanding Spanish and thinking they were asking for directions, answered, "Sosogon" meaning "trace the river by going upstream". Through constant use, Sosogon became Sorsogon.
