ETYMOLOGY
The place was not yet called Solsona, because the inhabitants did not
have any name at all to identify their place of habitation. An Octogenarian in
the name of Ramon Pasion, said he distinctly remembers that his parents
used to tell him that the place was generally referred to as Kaitnegan,
meaning” place of the Isnegs or itnegs”. The Isnegs or Itnegs were the 1 st
people to have settled in these parts. They were pagans and uncivilized.
With the influx of the Christian settlers who moved eastward from
Santiago to form a new settlement because of the big flood of 1955 which
wash away the the 1st center of population or town proper, the Isnegs who
were the original inhabitants of the place were forcibly “ pushed back” to the
mountains where they came from. Hence, they were Nasonson ( Ilocano term
for pushed back). The place of pushing was thereby given the name
Nagsonsonan. With more people settling in the new found land and the
coming of transients and other outsiders, the term was cut short to Sonsonan.
the eastern part of the province was Solsona.
As related by another source; Solsona was named after a pueblo in
Spain. During the Spanish regime, a Spanish officer visited the town and
observed its vista as a basis for naming it. There was then a policy of the
governor- general that all political units within the colony be given names for
proper documentation and supervision. For a better view of the town proper;
the Spaniard was accompanied by local officials to a hilltop overlooking the
verdant territory below. He was amazed and filled with mixed emotions of joy
and nostalgia as the scenery unfolding before him reminded him of a sunny
little town in his beloved far- away homeland, Spain. This place was called
Solsona whose breathtaking vista or view has a striking resemblance or
similarity to that of what he discovered in the place. The Spaniard made a
report to the Spanish authorities that the name that has been given to the
town in the eastern part of the province was Solsona.
