Namayan (Baybayin: Pre-Kudlit: ᜈᜋᜌ or ᜐᜉ (Sapa), Post-Kudlit: ᜈᜋᜌᜈ᜔), also called Sapa[5] and sometimes Lamayan,[6] was an independent[1]: 193  polity[7][8] on the banks of the Pasig River in the Philippines. It is believed to have peaked in the 11th-14th centuries,[9] although it continued to be inhabited until the arrival of European colonizers in the 1570s.[1]

Formed as a polity occupying several barangays,[2] it was one of several polities on the Pasig River just prior to the Spanish colonization of the Philippines, alongside Tondo, Maynila, and Cainta.[1][10]

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.[5][9][Notes 1]
