The Spanish word "Laguna" refers to not just lagoons but also for freshwater lakes, aside from "lago". Some examples of the worldwide usage of "laguna" for lakes include Laguna Chicabal in Guatemala, Laguna de Gallocanta in Spain, Laguna Catemaco in Mexico and Laguna de Leche, the largest lake in Cuba. The lake's alternate name, "Laguna Lake", refers to the Province of Laguna, the province at the southern shore of the lake. Laguna province, though, was named because of the large lake and was originally called "La Laguna" till the early 20th century.
