According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 95,154 people.The name Calasiao was derived from the native word Kalasian, which means "a place where lightning frequently occurs", from the root word lasi, meaning "lightning". Upon the arrival of the Spaniards, they called the place "Lugar de Rayos", a literal Spanish translation of the word Kalasian.
It was named as such because it is said that Calasiao back in the day was always frequented by this natural phenomenon.
