Etymology

The word 'cabana' originates from the Spanish term 'cabaรฑa', which means a small, simple dwelling or hut. It was derived from the Latin word 'capanna', meaning 'hut' or 'shack'. The usage of 'cabana' became popular in the English language by the early 20th century, particularly in contexts related to leisure and resort culture. Cabanas were often associated with fashionable seaside resorts where wealthy vacationers sought luxury and comfort. Over time, the design and function of cabanas have evolved, but they remain a popular choice for outdoor relaxation, particularly in sunny locales.
