Etymology

From Proto-Central-Philippine *áyaw ("to leave, redistribute") + -an (ayawan → aywan → ewan → iwan). Attested in the Doctrina Christiana as œvan, most likely reflecting ewan. Cognates with Mansaka ayaw (“to leave”) and Cebuano ayaw (“to cry (as a child) when left behind”). See also ayaw and aywan. An alternate etymology from Panganiban (1972) posits it to be from iwi +‎ -an.
