The name of the village is Arawak for "the place with the itching bush." The "bush" referred to is a wild arum (Dieffenbachia paludicola) having irritating juice. The Arawak named this plant "jotoro", and named the place where it grew "kabo kabura." Over time, this became Kabakaburi.[4]
The village has four subdivisions; Macaseema, Waiwaro, the Mission (Kabakaburi), and Aripiaco.[5]
