The Cuban chains are also very commonly known as the Miami Cuban links as they first originated in the city of Miami in Florida. These as mentioned earlier were first used by DJ Kool Herc in his hip hop parties at the Bronx, and this is where the attendees of these parties used a variety of such jewelry and accessories flaunting the Cuban links. So, though these chains were not originally started in Cuba, they are called so as they were started by the Miami Cubans.
