Etymology
According to folk legend, the name Casiguran was obtained from the Hispano-Filipino term Kasiguruhan which means "safety" or "assurance", such as a fortress or sanctuary for sailing ships during stormy weather. Another legend says that if an unmarried stranger comes to the place, he unavoidably falls in love and marries and most of the time stays for good.
