The history of the last name Mangaoang

The surname MANGAOANG has its origins in the Philippines. It is believed to have emerged during the Spanish colonial period, which lasted from the 16th to the 19th century. The name is thought to be derived from the Ilocano language, spoken in the northern regions of the Philippines.

MANGAOANG is likely a combination of the Ilocano words "mangan" meaning "to eat" and "aoang" meaning "early morning". This suggests that the surname may have originally referred to someone who had the habit of eating early in the morning, or perhaps a profession related to preparing or serving early morning meals.

While the exact origins of the name are uncertain, it is possible that it was first used to distinguish families or individuals in the Ilocos region of the Philippines, where the Ilocano language is predominantly spoken.
