==Etymology== Although the town's name is always written as one word, it comes from the Tagalog phrase mataás na kahoy, meaning "tall wood." The town’s report for the Historical Data Papers, released in May 1953 by a commission comprising local schoolteachers, dates the name "mataás na kahoy" to 1862. The then-Capitán Municipal (equivalent of a mayor) in Lipa decided to found a settlement in that particular place as a barrio of his town, and the head of the new village recalled a tall tree ("mataás na kahoy") in the area. Additional folklore links the tall tree to a fruit that had cured an old woman of illness.
