The name "Manabo" came from the word "Anabo," a thorny herb used for making twines of rope, growing luxuriantly in the fields between San Jose Sur and Poblacion. One time during the Spanish regime, a group of Spaniards passed by the place and asked the name of the thorny herb. The people answered "Anabo." From that time on, the Spaniards called the place Manabo.
