==Etymology== The word Zünheboto is derived from the Sümi words zünhebo, the name of a flowering shrub Leucosceptrum, and to or ato, hill top. The zünhebo plant grows abundantly in this region and the town was built on the top of the rolling hills hence the name, Zünhebo-to or Zünheboto. Hence, Zünheboto means the hill top of Zünhebo flowers.
