The town's name came from the Tagalog expression, "kabit sa binti". The Aetas,
the early dwellers of the land, performed a wedding ritual in which the
groom chases his bride to the riverbank. The groom will try to capture
his bride by her legs ("binti"), with the witnesses shouting, "Kabit sa binti, kabit sa binti!" This phrase later became "Kabinti"; hence the name. Cavinti, Laguna - Sambalilo Festival
