Naic
Naic ([ˈnaʔɪk]), officially the Municipality of Naic (Tagalog: Bayan ng Naic), is a municipality in the province of Cavite, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 236,978 people. Also being the 4th most largest municipality in cavite, spanning at around 75.81 km²
Naic is a former barrio of Maragondon. It has multiple accounts regarding the origin of its name. One theory suggests it comes from a native’s response, *“na-igik”*—the sound of a crying pig—when asked by a Spaniard what the pig was doing, which later evolved into Naic. Another theory proposes that it derives from the Spanish term *“Ca–Naic”*, meaning “neighboring place,” referencing its mother town, present-day Maragondon. A third theory posits that Naic is an acronym for *Nuestra Adorada Inmaculada Concepción*.
The town's name is the Spanish translation of the town's patron saint, Our Lady of Immaculate Concepcion (Nuestra Adorada Immaculada Concepcion). As an honor and reverence to Our Lady of Immaculate Conception, the town folks celebrate annually their town fiesta on every 8th day of December.
Thousands of years ago, Naic was a part of the towering Taal Volcano. Naic was the western slope of the volcano until its internal eruption which led to the sinking of its apex in its present condition.
When the Jesuits discovered Maragondon in 1627, its total land area covers the whole of Naic, Ternate, and Magallanes.[citation needed] In 1758, the Jesuits founded a community in the western bank of the river (present Barangay Muzon) and made it into a "sitio" with a visita still under Maragondon.
In 1791, the community was finally made into a town with its population still in the western bank. The town was named Naic after the old archaic word "can(ia)ayic" meaning "town near one another" or "the other side" (Medina, 1992), while Alfredo B. Saulo contends that Naic is a highly cultured Tagalog word meaning "suburbs" or "countryside". Also in Malaysia, Naic means "overboard".
Moreover, due to the closeness of Naic to the population in Maragondon, Naic transferred its center in 1798 to the eastern bank of the river (the present poblacion)[citation needed]. Also during this time, the town was already a flourishing fishing and agricultural village.[citation needed] On the other hand, the church, since 1797, was under the secular clergy who were mostly Filipinos.[citation needed] Upon the "Royal Audiencia" issued in 1849, the church was transferred to the Dominican Friars in 1865. The Dominicans upon finding out that the land in Naic was fertile, built the Casa Hacienda de Naic (the present Naic Elementary School) to be the administration building for the overseer of the larger friar lands in Naic.[citation needed]
The 1818 Spanish census showed the area had 942 native families and 3 Spanish-Filipino families.
