Editing Manado (section)

==Etymology==
The name Manado is derived from the [[Sangir language]] word ''manaro'', meaning 'on the far coast' or 'in the distance', and originally referred to the further of two islands which can be seen from the mainland.  When the settlement on this island was relocated to the mainland, the name Manado was brought with it, after which the island itself became referred to as [[Manado Tua]] (Old Manado).<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Makaliwe |first=Willem Hendrik |date=1981 |title=A preliminary note on genealogy and intermarriage in the Minahasa regency, North Sulawesi |journal=Journal of the Humanities and Social Sciences of Southeast Asia |volume=137 |issue=2–3 |pages=244–258 |doi=10.1163/22134379-90003499 |issn=0006-2294|doi-access=free }}</ref> The name for Manado in the [[Sangir language]] is ''Manaro'', while in [[Gorontalo language|Gorontalo]] is ''Moladu''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hulondalo.id/daerah/pr-9647184130/tour-de-moladu-marten-jangan-sangkut-pautkan-dengan-politik|title=Tour De Moladu, Marten: Jangan Sangkut Pautkan dengan Politik|website=hulondalo.id|access-date=2024-05-12}}</ref>
