Due to being the frontier city, the name Chumphon is believed
to derive from Chumnumphon, which means the accumulation
of forces. Whenever there were movements from the army,
the soldiers would gather their forces here at this province.
The other source believed that it should be derived from
a local plant named Maduea Chumphon due to its richness
in this area. Therefore, naturally, this plant has become
a symbol of the logo of Chumphon Province.
