====Etymology of barangays====
The barangays of the city are named after the botanical characteristics, topographical features, and historical events that had been observed in the area when it was named. Tunasan from the plant [[Opuntia|tunas]]. Putatan got its name from a tree called [[putat]]. Cupang is likewise named after the [[Parkia javanica|cupang tree]]. Buli is named after the [[buri palm]]. Alabang is named after the river that passes through the barangay. Ayala Alabang was created by Batas Pambansa Bilang 219 out of Barangay Alabang. Sucat got its name from the vernacular word "sukat", which means "measurement" since it was measured during the Spanish era.
