Etymology.
The name of the municipality was taken from the Waray-waray word "Hi Podlos" ('the sly one'), the nickname given to a woman who was nearly kidnapped by marauding "Moros" (Muslims). A folk story in the town tells of two women who went to a coastal area called "Rawis" to gather seashells only to be confronted by Moro men. One of the women, who was quite observant to her surroundings, was able to escape with haste. The other woman, who was already being dragged by the Moros to their vinta, squirmed her way out of their clutches like an eel (, 'to slip from capture'), leaving them clutching her skirt while she fled triumphantly, earning the name "Hi Podlos". It is said that this name was changed to "Hi Porlos" to name the place or the whole area of settlement and was modified further by the Spaniards into its current spelling: "Giporlos".
