Thinking that the missionary was asking for water, the inhabitant replied “manga-alay-adan” which means “Adan is fetching”. The second version states that Mangaldan got its name from the first native chief of the town named “Babaldan”. The third version says that at the middle of the plaza was a big mango tree laden with fruits. The inhabitants were free to gather the fruits but it resulted in quarreling among themselves. The
meaning of the quarrel in the dialect is “man-nga-ngal-ngalan”. Of these versions, anyone of them seems to justify the legendary origin of the name.
