== Etymology == An altercation happened between a priest and the natives that used to live in the area. The town center was previously located in an uphill settlement called 'Omod', and a chapel was erected to serve the religious needs of the new converts. During a mass, a native threw a lance in the priest, who was raising the [[Sacramental|Holy Host]] at that time, instantly killing him. The name "Bayawan" stems from the Visayan term "Bayaw"β to hoist or elevate, in reference to the priest's action just before his death.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=History of Bayawan |url=http://www.bayawancity.gov.ph/?mnu=3&flnk=83 |access-date=July 9, 2024}}</ref>
