Cavinti is a municipality in the outskirts of the province of Laguna in the Philippines and is situated in the foothills of Sierra Madre Mountain Ranges. The town's name came from the Tagalog expression, "kabit sa binti". The Aetas, the early dwellers of the land, performed a wedding ritual, in which the groom chases his bride to the riverbank. The groom will try to capture his bride to her legs ("binti"), with the witnesses shouting, "Kabit sa binti, kabit sa binti!" This phrase later became "Kabinti"; hence the name.
