Magaoay Meaning<\/h2>\n

While researching my surname, I came across Kat\u00e1logo ng mga Apelyidong Pilipino<\/a>. In that blog post, they provided meanings for some Filipino surnames.<\/p>\n

I went to the letter M and looked for Ilocano surnames. There\u2019s Mabalo, which means “to be widowed”. Mabayag means “a long time”. Macadengdeng means “vegetable cook”. Macalipat means “forgetful”. Madarang means “to burn”.<\/p>\n

Magaoay had no meaning.<\/p>\n

I looked for gaoay in online Ilocano dictionaries but had no luck.<\/p>\n

Lost interest, moved on, and eventually forgot about it.<\/p>\n

My curiosity sparked again when I heard the phrase “Adda gaoay na”. Maybe it wasn\u2019t gibberish after all.<\/p>\n

This time, I searched old Ilocano dictionaries online.<\/p>\n

Then boom!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n

Magaoay or Magaway or Magauay<\/h2>\n

Unlike gaoay, the dictionaries mentioned above have no entries for gaway or gauay.<\/p>\n

The Magaway version came about to make it easier for Americans to read.<\/p>\n

Only Magauay appears in the Catalogo (1849)<\/a>, but I found an earlier christening record for a certain Camilo and Camila Magaoay dated 1829.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n
