The mukim could be named after a village it encompasses, Kampong Lamunin. Lat and Munin made up the word Lamunin. Evidently, Lat and Munin both refer to hills, or musang (fox). Since foxes once roamed the area, Lat Munin, the ancient name, means Fox's Hill or Hill of Foxes. The two names eventually fused to form Lamunin, hiding both their animal origin and link.[2]
The mukim is named after Kampong Lamunin, one of the villages it encompasses.[citation needed]
