The first is an onomatopeic derivation from the bubbling sound called "bocalbocal" ''(bukál-bukál)'' in Cebuano, emitted by the waters of a spring located within the town proper. The second, and less popular version, relates to the belief that most of the town's first settlers are from the island of Bohol and are thus known as Boholanos, or Bol-anons. In both versions, it is believed that the word was eventually transformed into "Moalboal". A clue to the etymology of Moalboal may reside in its old orthography: Redondo's ''Breve Reseña ...
