According to Langkawi legend, Gunung Raya was once a giant named Mat Raya. He transformed into the mountain following the big fight he had with another giant, Mat Cincang, over the wedding of his son to Mat Cincang's daughter. Mat Cincang also was transformed into a mountain, called Gunung Mat Cincang.
