Cagway Bay as the English called it following their arrival in Jamaica during the invasion of 1655 had been known to the earlier Taino and Spanish occupiers as Caguay or Caguaya bay. The bay in turn got its name from the Taino name for the sand spit now known as the Palisadoes which protects the bay or, as it is now known as, Kingston Harbour. Edward Long argued in his 1744 History of Jamaica argues that the names were "a corruption of caragua, the Indian name for , or , which overspreads the adjacent Saltpan Hill".

- La bahía de Cagway, o en inglés, Cagway Bay, como la llamaron los ingleses después de su llegada a Jamaica durante la invasión de 1655, era conocida por los primeros ocupantes tainos y españoles como la bahía de Caguay o Caguaya. A su vez, la bahía recibió su nombre del nombre Taino para el cordón litoral ahora conocido como Palisadoes que protege la bahía o, como ahora se le conoce como Puerto de Kingston (Kingston Harbour). Edward Long argumentó en su «Historia de Jamaica» (1744) que los nombres eran «una corrupción de caragua, el nombre indio de coratoe, o gran aloe, que sobrepasa el adyacente cerro Saltpan». (es)
