Taysan may have derived its name from the following Tagalog words:
Taysan traces its origin to Mercedes, a barrio part of Rosario. It was later converted into a municipality known as Taysan, according to Manuel Sastron's 1895 publication Batangas y Su Provincia.[6] Lobo was consolidated with it in 1903[7] but was merged with Rosario in the same year. Taysan was officially made an independent municipality in 1919.[8]
Taysan is located at 13°47′N 121°12′E.
According to the Philippine Statistics Authority, the municipality has a land area of 93.62 square kilometers (36.15 sq mi) [9] constituting 3.00% of the 3,119.75-square-kilometer (1,204.54 sq mi) total area of Batangas.
Taysan is bordered on the north by Rosario and Ibaan, east by a portion of Rosario, west by Batangas City, and south by Lobo.
