== Etymology == The name Jucuruçu derives from the Tupi language, combining jucuru (snake) and uçu (big), meaning "big snake". The name was given by indigenous people because the curves of the Jucuruçu River give the impression of a large serpent. According to local legend, such a snake once existed and, after being killed by indigenous people, transformed into the river.
