| Description | : The name Misamis is believed to have been derived from the Subano word Kuyamis which is a variety of sweeto coconut the staple food of the early settlers in this place. During the years the name persisted as an inference of the geographical location and upon the advent of the Spanish settlers, the word kuyamis easily gave way to the more convenient pronounceable but corrupted word Misamis. |
