The name element 'bulud' means 'mountain' in the Mongondow language, an Austronesian language spoken by the Mongondow people of the Bolaang Mongondow region; the word appears, for example, in the regional song Moraoy in the line 'Ilibu in bulud, lopa', balangon', rendered as 'surrounded by mountains, plains, and seas'.
