EN: indigo plant; place with indigo plants
Before your favorite denim jeans, there was tayuman. This is the OG plant that gives the 'tina' or indigo dye. It's the reason why your lola's old tapis has that deep blue color. Also, a famous street in Manila where you can buy medical supplies, probably not related to the plant anymore, but hey, history!
From 'tayum', the name of the plant, with the suffix '-an' indicating a place where it is abundant.
Also a well-known place name in Manila, associated with a train station and a market for medical supplies.
