Possible Origin or Etymology of the Name of Atimonan.

The name is certainly of Tagalog language origin. The naming convention used was "Naturales" and not Hispanic. Given that, the place was so-called and named after an activity that was considered very popular and important. As the town is situated along the shores of the Lamon Bay and its centrally strategic location, it was an important pivot point for sea navigation. Hence, the place could had been popularly referred to as "where boats maneuver". In Tagalog, this can be translated as "timonan", from the word "timon" meaning "rudder". When referring to the place, one would quip, "Ang Timonan". When a Spaniard pronounces this name, he would most likely say "An Timonan". But a deeper examination of the word "timon" brings us to another meaning. One that refers to a distinction in a social hierarchy. "Timon" may refer to "kapangyarihan", "helm", "authority". Could it be that "Ang Timonan" originally referred to as "the place where the power seats"? But, yes, it could only refer to as the "maritime authority" during that time. Interesting.
