The history of the last name Mangonon

The surname Mangonon originates from the Philippines, specifically from the Visayan region of the country. It is believed to have its roots in the ancient Visayan language, where "mangon" or "mangonon" referred to a person who engaged in the trade or profession of weaving or textile making.

This surname can be traced back to the 16th century, during the early years of Spanish colonization in the Philippines. The arrival of the Spanish introduced the concept of surnames, and many Filipinos adopted surnames that reflected their occupations, places of origin, or physical characteristics.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Mangonon can be found in the Bohol Provincial Archives, which houses historical documents dating back to the 17th century. These records mention individuals with the surname Mangonon residing in various towns across the island of Bohol.

In the late 18th century, a prominent figure named Teodoro Mangonon (1745-1823) was known for his involvement in the Bohol Uprising against Spanish colonial rule. He played a significant role in organizing the resistance movement and rallying the local population to fight for their rights and independence.

Another notable individual with the surname Mangonon was Vincente Mangonon (1810-1879), a respected weaver and textile artisan from the town of Guindulman, Bohol. His works were highly regarded for their intricate designs and craftsmanship, and he is considered one of the pioneers of the traditional Bohol textile industry.

During the 19th century, the surname Mangonon began to spread beyond the Visayan region as families migrated to other parts of the Philippines. One example is Juan Mangonon (1835-1912), a merchant from Bohol who settled in Manila and established a successful trading business.

In the early 20th century, the surname Mangonon gained recognition through the work of Narcisa Mangonon (1887-1965), a renowned educator and advocate for women's rights. She founded several schools in the Visayan region and played a pivotal role in promoting education and empowerment for women.

While the surname Mangonon has its roots in the Visayan region, it has since spread to various parts of the Philippines and even abroad due to migration and diaspora. However, its origins remain deeply connected to the rich cultural heritage of weaving and textile production in the Visayan islands.
