Manufahi (Portuguese: Município Manufahi, Tetum: Munisípiu Manufahi) is one of the municipalities of East Timor. It has a population of 53,691 (2015 census) and an area of 1,323 km2.[2] The capital of the municipality is Same.[3]
The present name of the municipality, Manufahi, is derived from Maun Fahe, the Tetum language expression for 'divided brothers'. The name originated in a legend that tells of a fight between two related tribes, or a group of siblings. Eventually, the protagonists agreed to subject themselves to a single ruler.[4][5]: 67
During the Portuguese colonial era, the then district bore the name of its main town, Same. The present name was adopted on the basis of the divided brothers legend.[4][5]: 67 However, it was misspelled, and the Tetum language meaning of the misspelled name is 'pig chicken'.[4]
Efforts are being made to correct the name. However, there is also a legend that in the suco of Daisula [de] a rooster once flew down from a mountain, landed on the back of a pig, and then travelled with the pig to many places before returning home.[4]
Geography
Manufahi extends from the central highlands of East Timor to its south coast, on the Timor Sea.[5]: 67 It is bordered by Manatuto to the east, Ainaro to the west, and Aileu to the north.

History
During its time as a Portuguese colony, the municipality was called Same, after the capital city. It was the epicentre of the Great Rebellion of 1910–12. During the Indonesian occupation the then subdistrict of Hato-Udo was split off from the then district of Manufahi and joined to Ainaro, and the then subdistrict of Turiscai, previously in Ainaro, was moved to Manufahi.
