Camboriú is a municipality in the state of Santa Catarina in the South region of Brazil,[2][3][4][5] near Balneario Camboriu, a popular beach destination.

Toponym

The toponym "Camboriú" is a reference to the Camboriú River. The name originates from the Tupi language, meaning "river of the common snook", from kamuri (snook) and 'y (river). Another hypothesis is that the indigenous origin inspires itself in the relief of the Pedra Branca, a hill that resembles a female breast and is visible from several points in the municipality. According to Patrianova, in his book called "Pequeno Livro", Cambu means "to nurse", and Ryry, Ruru or Riú means nursing container, i.e. breast.
