Yes, that is correct, Malakanyang came from "May Lakan diyan" <There is
a Lakan there(Lakan is a King of all Kings, a king is a Rajah)>, and the
Tagalog writing I use is better than the enye version, since it works
for its original.


It was a Rajah's palace before the Spaniards' time? 


Lakan is Rajahs of all rajahs, yes, it was a palace way before the
Spaniards arrived.




BTW, the title "Rajah" sounds INDIAN to me, isn't there a province called
Rajastan in India?

Maharajah Piggy



It is one of those loan words from India.
