Maranaw (Meranao; M'ranao; Muranaw; Maranao) is a misnomer. We are Iranaon (taw sa kilid a ranaw). Our Maguindanaon (maginged sa danaw) Refer to a Pulagi River which is “Lubog a Ig” danaw in Iranon. Brothers called us Iranon, eliding the "a"(also Ilanon). If we go back to the tuthul o tarsila (silsilatun nasb = genealogy), Maguindanaon and Iranaon (Maranao and Iranon) are one bangsa; so that Mindanao could be pronounced as Minranao without changing the meaning. Let us only hope that Mindanao will not have a pseudonym like Nueva Isabela, like what happened to Iliyan (Iligan), Kayaan (Cagayan), Pangadian (Pagadian), Samboangan (Zamboanga), Mala i walay (Malaybalay)   "As I told my friends time and again that we are not Maranaos. Maranao, a misnomer, is a creation of our adversaries. It is not in our etymology for MA os Me to denote a people of a place. The prefix is I- as Iranaon for people living around or by a body of water. The Iranon with the elision of a before o refer to our kinsmen and to us, too. Dividing the Iranaons into Iranon and Maranao is a strategic scheme to divide and rule, if not to decimate and control. Of course, we know better our own affairs than outsiders."   "As Filipinos, we have the penchant for adopting western names that has no relation to us. The Philippines from Principe Felipe is a striking example. If he was a Christian saint, at least his name can be related to the religion of the majority. He is not even our hero. As for Moro and Indio, at least we can relate to both considering our colors."   "It is not much of a problem if our own places undergo little changes in the pronunciation of their names, as long as we do not forget the origin. Chances are people will come to their senses and bring forth the original, like Iligan for Iliyan (meaning gulf), Cagayan for Cayaan, Pagadian for Pangadian, Zamboanga for Samboangan, etc. But if our places and people have to change to Santinoan, General Mc Bride, Sta. Barbara, Isabelle, San Salvattore, and the like, THAT IS TRULY ANOTHER STORY." According to the Iranon tarsila, Iranaons or Iranons now days, as nation was one of the oldest existing nations in the world. It sprang from Karingke-Karibang Line of Descent. The Karingke and Karibang offspring was intermarriage with the people of Malay in origin, (Indarapatra a malay to Raina Laot a Karibang in a cave of a river along Masiu),   probably from the Sri Vishaya Empire. Out of this breed line of descent, a group of people sprang into existence.  Iranon auithorities in tarsila classified tribes in Mindanaw into two; namely: Muslim Moro and Non Muslim Moro. The identified Muslim Moro are: Iranaon Iranon in Illana bay, the original tribe (nation), Iranaon M’ranaw in lake Lanao area, Maguindanawon of Raya and Ilud Pulangi river a Danaw river, Tausog (Sulog), Sama, Jama Mapun, Yakan, Badjaw, Kalagan, Kalibugan or Kulibugan, Malbog, Palawani, and Sangil (Sangir in Iranun version). The non Muslim Moro are: Tiduray, Subanen, Blaan (Biran in some version),  Tboli, Bagobo, Manobo, other tribes are affiliated with major non Muslim Moro tribes. However, many of the non Miuslims Moro have embraced and accepted Islam as an ideology way back 1960 up to the present. According to survey, more or less ten (10) non Muslims Moro who are embracing Islam everyday throughout Mindanaw.

Modern science described and illustrated as a result of sedimentary formation and residual remains forms the low and flat land surface in the coastal areas. The M’ranao vernacular called it “IRA” which means remains. Thus the name of the people in the costal area of Illana bay was derived from the root word “IRA” IRAANUN which means people living the residual remains in the coastal areas. The people of Ranao called them “IMRAGATEN tao sa RAGAT” at this present day they are “IRANUN” The Iranaon are people from the lake (Ranao in M’ranao), the history narrated that on 1074 Ranao area was lived by the monsters animals “Makaogis and Omakaan” this destructive animals controled the lake was plenty of fishes reason for them to owned the area. The people of the lake were forced to leave the area and migrated to Malabang, but the princess of Ranao was brought in Sabah Borneo for her safety and security.  this princess was married to Sultan Nabi Bacaraman of Komara Mantapoli and got only Radia Indarapatra, Radia Solaiman is a half brother of Indarapatra,  Radia indarapatra was the first Malay Datu arrived in Mindanao on 1130 to visit Ranao and toke revenged against these monsters; he first landed in Uranen kingdom now “Malabang” The first seat of goverment of the Uranen Kingdom was in Tbok, a barangay of Malabang, Lanao del sur along coastal area of the municipality. Rajah Indarapatra proceeded to upland in the area of Lake Lanao, in a short period, he retake the area from Omakaan. after having destroyed all these noxious animals, and having restored peace and safety to the land. Radia Indarapatra married to Raina laot of Mimbalay in Maganding now” Masiu” bigoted a twin brother, Ayadiwata mokom of Kaadiong a Lupa (Rinamuntao) and Ayadiwata mokom of kialonod a ig (Rinayong)  M'ranao salsila start from the twin, Sharief Aulia arrived to the decendats of Diwata mokom in Bembaran and Ranao to introduced Islam, Thus the people of Lanao (Ranao) claim descent from Rajah Indarapatra, the first Malay Datu and native in Lanao who arrived on 1130 A.D.   I beg to disagree, that M’ranao tribe come from only at Iranun tribe, the truth isIranaon people intermarriages with the Iraanun people and that is now the M’ranao, Irayan Buayan, Ilud Maguindanao and Iranun at this present days. Bilaaan, bagobo, manobo, kalagan and sangil were  from this Mother tribe,  Iranaon are people of Ranao who migrated to Ragat area, Costal of illana bay,M'ranao or Maranao are people who dwelled around the  lake Lanao, they belong to same genealogy, lineages, culture and history, based on the language used in the area,  they are called Maranao in general.     Copied from: Datu Ontay Abdulmadid's site.

Ang Moors ay siyang tawag sa mga Muslim sa Al-Andalus ( The land of the Vandals) o mas kilala sa tawag ngayon bilang Spain . Noong 711 AD ay nagsimulang ipalaganap ni Abdul Rahman I ang mga salita ng panginoong Allah sa Spain . At noong 719 AD ay nagtagumpay sa tulong ng Panginoon si Abdul Rahman, tumagal ng halos 800 years ang pananatili ng Islam sa Spain .               Noong 1571 ay dumating sa Manila si Miguel Lopes de Legaspi, isang Espanyol. Sa ilalim ng pamahalaan ng Spain ay pinagharian ng mga sundalong Espanyol ang Luzon at Visayas at sabay tinawag ang mga Muslim bilang Moors o Moro.   2) Tama ba na tawagin tayong Filipino-Muslim?               Isang malaking kabastosan sa mga Muslim na tawagin silang Filipino-Muslim. Dahil si King Philip II ng Spain na kung saan ipinangalan sa Pilipinas at sa mga Pilipino ay Apo nina Queen Isabel of Castile at King Ferdinand of Aragon . Ang kanyang mga Lolo at Lola ay siyang nanguna upang burahin sa mapa at history ng Spain ang Islam. At ang kanyang tatay na si King Charles V, ang Emperador ng Holy Roman Empire ay pinakamalaking kaaway ng Islam.                           Nakakatawa sa ating pandinig na ang mga Muslim ay tinatawag din nila ang kanilang mga sarili bilang mga Christiano, O Christian-Muslim. Ang mga Christian ay hindi nila tinatawag ang kanilang sarili bilang Filipino Christian dahil alam nila na ang Filipino ay sumisimbolo bilang Christian.   News - Bangsamoro News Sun, 03 Jan 2010 21:47:55 +0100
