Etymology

Zamboanga City, as illustrated in the Velarde Map (1734)

From Central Sama Samboangan (mooring place) from samboang (mooring pole) +‎ -an (place marker suffix), as attested in the Velarde Map (1734). A popular folk etymology may also attribute it to either Indonesian jambangan (flower garden) or Malay jambangan (flower garden) or Tausug jambangan (flower garden) from jambang (flower pot) +‎ -an (place marker suffix), but this name has never been attested in any historical records prior to the 1960s with the place being attested usually instead as "Samboangan".
