There are three versions as to how Mangaldan got its name.  The first version relates               that one day a Spanish missionary inquired from one inhabitant about the name of the        place in the Spanish language.  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.
