Editing Kalibo (section)

==Etymology==
The term ''Kalibo'' comes from the [[Aklanon language|Aklanon]] word ''sangkâ líbo'', ("one thousand"), reputedly the number of native [[Ati people|Ati]] who attended the first Catholic Mass celebrated there. Kalibo was originally spelled as ''Calivo''.

The town of Kalibo was originally called ''Akean'' by the inhabitants, similar to the name of the [[Aklan river|river]] nearby. The word ''akean'' itself connotes the warbling of running waters, from the root word ''akae'', meaning "to boil". ''Akae-akae'' means "to bubble" or "to boil" or "to make the sound of bubbling or boiling" in the [[Aklanon language]].

The [[Spanish Philippines|Spaniards]] interchanged the names Aklan and Calivo to refer to the town. Aside from these two, other names such as Calibo, Daclan, Adan, and Calibog have been used.
