What does ‘Cuba’ mean? Well there is some debate about its translation, but it has been narrowed down to two options. The first, meaning “where fertile land is abundant” by the word ‘cubao’. The second from the word ‘coabana’ which means “great place.” But then again, it could be because Christopher Columbus named it after the town of Cuba in Portugal.
