Some suggests lots of name for the Philippines. Even more bizzare was the idea that it was part of atlantis which was supposedly sunked. The earliest RECORDED name of the Philippines was Ma'yi, which was what the Chinese called this country during barter trade. after that we were discovered by the Spaniards and renamed "isalas de san lazaro" then after that "islas de felipe" then Philippines came

---Well, in some maps today that shows the Philippines before Magellan arrived names the Philippines as Malaya, or maybe the Malayan Archipelago, with the islands of Indonesia and Malaysia, as the Philippines was a part of the chain of islands that mostly occupy Southeast Asia.
