The name Murutinga do Sul is derived from the Tupi language, one of the indigenous languages of Brazil. The word “Murutinga” roughly means “very white” or “very light”, likely referring to the color of the soil or local vegetation in the area. The phrase “do Sul”, meaning “of the South” in Portuguese, was added to distinguish the town from another location with the same name in northern Brazil and to indicate its geographical position in the southern part of the state of São Paulo.
