There are several theories about the origin of the name Brumado. According to Teodoro Fernandes Sampaio, the name "Brumado" comes from the expression Tupi language: Itimbopira (Y-timbó-pyra), which means misty, covered in fog, but according to José Dias, former priest of the city, the name originates from the Serra das Éguas, when the morning fog descends from it covering the city.
