people in hoi an - 05
The town is known to the French and Spanish as “Faifo,” and by similar names in Portuguese and Dutch. A number of theories have been put forth as to the origin of this name. Some scholars have suggested that it comes from the word "hai-pho" meaning "sea town", while others have said that it is more likely simply a shortening of Hoi An-pho "the town of Hoi An", to "Hoi-pho" which became "Faifo".
