Etymology 1

edit

Possibly from a blend of layaw (“satisfaction of one's needs and desires”) ‎ haya (“at ease; allow; tolerate”), according to Virgilio S. Almario (1992). However, historian Zeus A. Salazar (1999) argued that the word was a standalone word and was already part of the Tagalog vocabulary by mid-19th century despite not being included in Fr. Noceda and Sanlucar's Vocabulario de la lengua tagala. In addition, malaya (“free”) was listed as a surname in the Catálogo alfabético de apellidos which was first published 1849. See also Ilocano waya.
