Sapin means "layer" while sapin-sapin means "layered" in the Ibanag language.[3]

A traditional recipe of sapin-sapin calls for different flavors mixed in each layer such as ube halaya in the purple layer, jackfruit in the yellow or orange layer, but the white layer has no flavoring. The commercial version tends to have only food coloring and no added flavoring to reduce the cost. [citation needed]
