Etymology
The term "Lala" in the Atayal language "R'ra" originally meant "to look into the distance on tiptoe". Due to the high terrain, it was the commanding height of the early local Atayal tribe male watch tribe and monitoring enemy invasion, so the Atayal people called the local R'ra. However, according to the field investigation conducted by Ushinosuke Mori during the Japanese Occupation era, "Lala" means "sword" in Atayal, and "Lala Mountain" means "Sword Mountain".[2] Another meaning of the "Lala Mountain" is "beautiful" in the language of the Taiya people.[3]
