The group decided to name the club Stallion Football Club after Tamasak, the town's folklore hero, a pure white stallion known for its strength.<ref name="about">{{cite web |last1=Catalan |first1=Denrei |title=Stallion FC of Barotac Nuevo Brief History |url=http://stallionfcphil.com/about |website=Stallion FC |publisher=Stallion Laguna FC |accessdate=20 January 2020 |archive-date=26 January 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200126070522/http://www.stallionfcphil.com/about |url-status=live }}</ref>
