Barangay Paknaan is one of the highly industrialized and fast growing barangays in Mandaue City. Paknaan got its name from the word "Panaan". According to the tales narrated by a true-blooded Paknaanon, the name "Paknaan" was derived from the word "Pana-an" which refers to the place where a kind of weapon "pana" was used as a defense in fighting against Moros who kept raiding the place every now andthen during the Spanish era. As time brough changes to the conditions and status of the place, the name changed and was called Paknaan.
