Lucsoon Naval

Municipality of Naval, Biliran Province

Lucsoon (Lucso-on), Biliran Island, Philippines

Lucsoon. The official name of this barangay is commonly interpreted as “to jump.” But it seems originated from the word locsong, found in the oldest Bisaya dictionary [Sanchez 1711], but not in later editions. It means “to go down the river (bajar el rio),” and its synonyms include lugsong and tugbong. Lucsoon seems to be a corruption of locsongon, which means “a steep slope going to the river.”

It has a population of 1,568 (2010 Census).
