“Liwa” adalah Ibu Kota Kabupaten Lampung Barat, berasal dari kata “Al-liwa (bahasa arab)” yang berarti Bendera, menurut salah satu versi cerita bahwa pemberian nama “Al-liwa” yang sekarang dikenal dengan Kota Liwa dimulai dari sejak runtuhnya Kerajaan Sekala Brak kuno yang dipimpin oleh pemimpin terakhirnya bernama Ratu Sekarmong yang dikalah kan oleh para pembawa ajaran Islam saat peperangan yang maha dahsyat antara bala tentara Kerajaan Sekala Brak yang dipimpin langsung oleh Ratu Sekarmong dengan Maulana Bersaudara yang berasal dari Pagaruyung beserta pengikutnya. Pada saat peperangan tersebut runtuhlah Kerajaan Sekala Brak Kuno, dan sebagai tanda takluk maka para pengikut Ratu Sekarmong menyerahkan “Al-Liwa” (bendera) kepada Maulana Bersaudara. Maka sejak saat itu Ibu Kota dinamakan Al-Liwa.
