Etymology
Its name derives from the Hungarian word láb ({{langx|en|leg}}) which was also the name of the first owner of the village. There is a local joke about it: What flows between your legs? - Brook Rinya. Because the Brook Rinya divides the settlement in two parts: Kis-Lábod and Nagy-Lábod.[http://somogy.hu/publikaciok/kiraly-lajos-somogyi-helysegnevek-nepi-es.html Lajos Király : Somogyi helységnevek népi és ...]
History
According to László Szita the settlement was completely Hungarian in the 18th century.[https://library.hungaricana.hu/hu/view/SOMM_SomAlm_052/?pg=10&layout=s&query=korpád László Szita : Somogy megyei nemzetiségek településtörténete a XVIII-XIX. században - Somogyi Almanach 52. (Kaposvár, 1993)]
