Etymology

Lingnan

In "Correct Meanings of the Historian's Records" 《史記正義》, Zhang Shoujie implies that the toponym originates from the local peoples' ethnonym, for which he proposes an apparently folk-etymology:

嶺南之人多處山陸其性強梁故曰陸梁 [MSC, trad.]

岭南之人多处山陆其性强梁故曰陆梁 [MSC, simp.]

lǐngnán zhī rén duō chù shānlù qí xìng qiángliáng gù yuē lùliáng [Pinyin]

Peoples in Lingnan mostly dwell in the mountainous inland (lù "陸"); they are naturally strong and violent (qiángliáng "強梁"); hence the appellation Lùliáng ("陸梁")
