Metro Cebu has a total population of about 2.55 million people (2010 Census). ==Etymology== The name "Cebu" came from the old Cebuano word ''sibu'' or ''sibo'' ("trade"), a shortened form of ''sinibuayng hingpit'' ("the place for trading"). It was originally applied to the harbors of the town of Sugbo, the ancient name for Cebu City. Sugbo, in turn, was derived from the Old Cebuano term for "scorched earth" or "great fire".〔Marivir Montebon, Retracing Our Roots – A Journey into Cebu’s Pre-Colonial Past, p.15〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cebu City」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
