Wao
There are three possible etymology for the name of the municipality Wao. One is a local folklore which involved Bai Sa Raya, a Moro princess from a monarchy in Cotabato who coincidentally visited the area which is now known as "Wao" during a serious drought. This led to the place being called Wao from the word kawaw or uhaw in the local language, which roughly translates to "I am thirsty". Another theory is that the place was named after a former creek in Eastern Wao, which was extant prior to the arrival of Christian settlers in the 1950s. A third theory is that the name of the town was derived from the Maranao word liawao, which means "high place". This is a reference to a Moro settlement existing in the current-day poblacion during the pre-1950 settlement era. Other nearby settlements are situated at a lower elevation than Liawao.
