Namayan (Baybayin: Pre-Kudlit: ᜈᜋᜌ or ᜐᜉ (Sapa), Post-Kudlit: ᜈᜋᜌᜈ᜔), also called Sapa,[6]Maysapan, and sometimes Lamayan,[7] was an independent indigenous[2]: 193 polity[8][9] on the banks of the Pasig River in the Philippines. It is believed to have achieved its peak in 1175,[10] and to have gone into decline sometime in the 13th century,[11] although it continued to be inhabited until the arrival of European colonizers in the 1570s.[2]
Formed by a confederation of barangays,[1] it was one of several polities on the Pasig River just prior to the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, alongside Tondo, Maynila, and Cainta.[2][3]
Archeological findings in Santa Ana have produced the oldest evidence of continuous habitation among the Pasig River polities, pre-dating artifacts found within the historical sites of Maynila and Tondo.[6][11][Notes 1]
