Etymology

Tagoloan is a compound word composed of two (2) "maranao" terms connected together. The term, "Tago" refers to something inside which is preserves or kept for long time period, or, "the contain", which is refer to as, "treasure" or "the treasure", and "oloan", a noun means "leader" or "the leader" in which in its adjective form is, "chief or head" in terms of leading a position in a community or village or a clan. In today's political and administrative system of government by some other Muslim countries, the leader, head or chief of the state is called a "Sultan". Furthermore, even in the present traditional government of the "Moro", the head of the community or town and or a region is so-called a, "Sultan"(e.g.; Sultan of Bayog, Sultan of Dimakiling, Sultan of Kapai, Sultan of Tikala-an, Sultan of Ramain, Sultan of Masiu, Sultan of Ragayan sa Unayan, Sultan of Butig, Sultan of Bayang, and etc...)". The term "Sultan" is originally an Arabic word,[5] a title, which is particularly addressed to a "muslim ruler" of a certain state or community, see,i.e.; In short, "Tago-oloan or Tagoloan" is literally means as, "the treasure of the Sultan", in which "treasure" as to "descendants" while "Sultan", the ruler of the state, refers to Sultan Sarip Alawi (The First Sultan of Tagoloan). Sultan Sarip Alawi, who established the Sultanate of Tagoloan in 1500, is the eldest brother of Sultan Sarip Kabunsuan (The First Sultan of Maguindanao). This two (2) brother came from Johore (state in Malaysia)landed in the islet which is visible from the seaport of the Municipality of Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental, Northern Mindanao in 1475.
