This suggests that the name may have initially been given to individuals who were skilled hunters or trackers.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name MANARANG can be found in the "Codice Mexicano," a 16th-century manuscript that documented the genealogy and history of various Indigenous groups in the Philippines. The MANARANG family is mentioned as being part of a prominent clan in the region now known as Bulacan.

Notable individuals from this time include Juan MANARANG, a respected leader in the town of Calumpit, Bulacan, who played a role in the resistance against Spanish rule in the late 18th century.

As the centuries progressed, the MANARANG name spread across different regions of the Philippines, with families establishing roots in various provinces and cities. One notable figure was Marcelo MANARANG, a prominent educator and writer from the late 19th century, who was born in the town of Malolos, Bulacan.

In the early 20th century, the MANARANG name gained further recognition with the achievements of Emilio MANARANG, a renowned sculptor and artist from Paombong, Bulacan.
