Casibari is a settlement of Paradera, north of Hooiberg, in Aruba. Evidence of prehistoric rock drawings is still visible at the site. "Casibari" is an Indian name of Arawak (possibly Taíno) origin and can be explained as follows: CA as a prefix means "where there are"; SIBA (or CIBA) means "stone"; and RI as a suffix means "good"; the translation is "where there are good stones". The name can also be explained as follows: CASIBA (or CACIBA) as "hollow" or "cavern", with RI as "good", leads to the meaning "good hole /cavern". This toponym also stands for cas di baril, or "house of barrel", the first tin house in Aruba – made from oil barrels.
