The surname Mangalindan is believed to have originated in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. It is likely derived from the Tagalog words "mangga" meaning mango and "lindan" meaning border or boundary, suggesting a connection to a place or area known for its mango trees or plantations.

One of the earliest recorded instances of this surname can be found in the 18th century, when a family bearing the name Mangalindan resided in the town of San Pedro de Tunasan, located in the province of Laguna. This region was known for its fertile lands and abundant mango groves, lending credence to the theory of the surname's origins.

Born in 1866, he served as a military leader and was a staunch supporter of the revolutionary cause, earning him recognition in the annals of Philippine history.

Another notable individual with this surname was Feliciano Mangalindan, born in 1892, who was a distinguished educator and writer. He authored several textbooks and literary works that contributed to the preservation and promotion of Filipino culture and language during the early 20th century.

The Mangalindan name has also been associated with various place names across the Philippines, such as Barangay Mangalindan in the municipality of Lilio, Laguna province, and the Mangalindan River, a tributary of the Marilao River in Bulacan province. These geographical references further solidify the connection between the surname and its potential origins.

Among other notable individuals bearing the Mangalindan surname are Maria Mangalindan, a pioneering female journalist and activist who fought for women's rights in the early 20th century, and Jose Mangalindan, a renowned artist and sculptor whose works are celebrated for their intricate depictions of Philippine culture and traditions.
