In 1870, Edmund Mcllhenny obtained a patent to his invention and the trademark to the name Tabasco sauce. According to Tabasco themselves, the name is of an Indigenous Mexican origin which they believe to mean "place where the soil is humid" or "place of the coral or oyster shell."
If you dig a little deeper, however, some of the glamor of the name gets lost amidst the history of it all. The pepper that Mcllhenny used, Capsicum frutescens, is a pepper that is native to Central America and Mexico specifically. The pepper actually grows very plentifully in Tabasco, a state in Mexico, per The Spruce Eats, so much so that the pepper is actually known colloquially as the Tabasco pepper. Tabasco peppers feature heavily in Tabascan cuisine and have for a very long time, per MexConnect, although Tabasco sauce itself does not. So, while Tabasco could very well mean "place where the soil is humid" or "place of the coral or oyster shell," the name of the sauce more likely came from just the name of the pepper it uses.
