The name Panabo originated from the phrase "pana-sa-boboy", where "pana" means arrow. According to local tradition, the area's early inhabitants, the Aetas, relied on bows and arrows to hunt wild animals for food. Over time, the expression "pana-sa-boboy" gradually evolved into the name Panabo, which the city proudly bears today.
