Etymology

Coined in 1577 during the Ming dynasty after the Yao rebellion in Luopang, Guangdong had been quashed in 1577, intended to convey the meaning 羅旁平定/罗旁平定 (“Luopang pacified”).

The first syllable 羅 is possibly borrowed from a Kra-Dai substrate word. Shao (2015) proposes that 羅 is cognate with either Zhuang laj (“low; down; bottom”), as in lajbya (“foothill”), or Proto-Kam-Sui *ra (“field; farmland”), whence Southern Kam jav, Sui qxgas, Maonan yras. Note that places with 羅 as the first character in their names are widespread in Guangdong.
