==Etymology== "Dinalupijan" came from the festival rites of the Aetas commemorating the deity "Indianalo", the goddess of hunting and bountiful harvest. "Indianalo" was paired with the Sanskrit word "jann", meaning paradise. "Indianalopijann" was the name given to the land that the Aetas received from their goddess which translates to Indianalo's paradise. As time passed, the name "Indianalopijann" turned into "Dinalupihan".
