Based on etermological evidence, the o'ceo or o'keo is not of Vietnamese origin. Many historians and other amateurs have a misconception of the origin of the term and its spelling as "oc eo". This corrupted and erroneous term "oc eo", if one misconceptually thinks it is of Vietnamese origin, it has no significant mearning in Vietnamese. The name of this Khmer seaport had been used for centuries, even milleniums, by the indigenous Khmer in the Mekong Delta, known as Kampucheakrom, and Vietnamese colonialists in the Khmer territory in the early 17th century. The correct spelling of the term is "o'ceo" or "o'keo" is etermologically or originally of Khmer origin that has been used by the Khmer indigeneous people since time immemorial. Many historians tend to follow one another especially when the first one who mispell the term when rendered transliteration from Khmer to other foreigner language. This may be occured to the lack of knowledge in the Khmer indigeneous language. The term has two syllables and each syllable has its specific meaning, 'o' referring to a natural stream, or river, and 'ceo' or 'keo' glass; thus this term means 'glass stream'. The word 'o' does not etermologically mean 'cannal' for cannal is reffering to a man made water way, which is equivalent to the Khmer word 'prek' of which is made by human, not by a natural cuase. Another problem is that the term is wrongfully arranged which cause it to be mispelled. This two syllable term is preposterously spelled 'oc eo' which is absurd and insipid; where the correct spelling should be "o-ceo" or "o-keo" which has been pronounced and spelled by the Khmer indigenous in the Mekong Delta.

Khmer has its own writing system and it is hard enough those who wish to learn. When those amateurs and historians try to immitate the Khmer pronunciation by writing using rommanized alphabets, it is very complicated. When the term is mispelled utilizing rommanized letters, that term loses its significant meaning intended by Khmer indigenous people, and this mispelled word has a different meaning in Khmer language; and continued using this erronous and mispelled word is gravely mistaken.

The mispelled or misarranged term 'oc eo' means 'basal plant'; although it has meaning in Khmer, it is not intended as a name for the ancient Khmer city seaport. O-Keo or o-ceo is the sole intended term and intended meaning for the Khmer seaport during the Nokor Phmon and Chenla periods.
