The name <i>barangay</i> originated from <i><a href="/wiki/Balangay" title="Balangay">balangay</a></i>, a certain type of traditional boat in many languages in the Philippines.<sup id="cite_ref-Zaide_11-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Zaide-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Early Spanish dictionaries of Philippine languages make it clear that <i>balangay</i> was pronounced "ba-la-ngay", while today the modern <i>barangay</i> is pronounced "ba-rang-gay".<sup id="cite_ref-scott2_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-scott2-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The term referred to the people serving under a particular chief rather than to the modern meaning of an area of land, for which other words were used.

However, historian Damon Woods challenges the concept of a <i>barangay</i> as an indigenous political organization primarily due to a lack of linguistic evidence. Based on indigenous language documents, Tagalogs did not use the word <i>barangay</i> to describe themselves or their communities. Instead, <i>barangay</i> is argued to be a Spanish invention resulting from an attempt by the Spaniards to reconstruct pre-conquest Tagalog society.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The first barangays started as relatively small communities of around 50 to 100 families. By the time of contact with the Spaniards, many barangays had developed into large communities.

Some of these barangays had large populations. In Panay, some barangays had 20,000 inhabitants; in Leyte (Baybay), 15,000 inhabitants; in Cebu, 3,500 residents; in Vitis (Pampanga), 7,000 inhabitants; and in Pangasinan, 4,000 residents. There were smaller barangays with fewer people, but these were generally inland communities, or if they were coastal, they were not located in areas that were good for business pursuits.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These smaller barangays had around thirty to one hundred houses only, and the population varied from 100 to 500 persons.

He also talks about Iloilo, particularly the ancient settlement of Halaur, as a site of a progressive trading post and a court of illustrious nobilities. The friar says: Es la isla de Panay muy parecida a la de Sicilia, así por su forma triangular come por su fertilidad y abundancia de bastimentos... Es la isla más poblada, después de Manila y Mindanao, y una de las mayores, por bojear más de cien leguas. En fertilidad y abundancia es en todas la primera... El otro corre al oeste con el nombre de Alaguer [Halaur], desembocando en el mar a dos leguas de distancia de Dumangas...Es el pueblo muy hermoso, ameno y muy lleno de palmares de cocos.
