According to an old resident of the barangay, Alfeo Dusaban, before this place become a sitio or barangay its name was Kalangi-an. They were plenty of mudfish on its little creek and people usually catch fish on the creek during dry season mudfish in Visayan language is langi, thus the area was called Kalangi-an. The place had few households and as a sitio, was named it Kalangi-an, which then a part of barangay Camambugan.
The number of households and the population increased after the passing of years, and the people of sitio Kalangi-an separated from barangay Camambugan and created sitio Kalangi-an to become barangay Camali-an. Until now, nobody knows why the name Kalangi-an was changed to Camali-an.
