The surname Sadang is believed to have originated in the Philippines during the 16th century. It is a locational surname, derived from the name of a place called Sadang, which was a small village or municipality located in the central region of the Philippines.

One of the earliest known references to the surname Sadang can be found in historical records dating back to the late 1500s, when Spanish colonizers began documenting the names of local inhabitants in the Philippines. The name may have been derived from a Tagalog or Visayan word that has since fallen out of usage.

In the 17th century, a document known as the "Libro de Casamiento" (Book of Marriage) from the town of Tondo, near present-day Manila, includes entries for several individuals with the surname Sadang. This suggests that the name was already well-established in the region by that time.

One notable individual with the surname Sadang was Juan Sadang, a prominent landowner and farmer who lived in the late 18th century. Historical records indicate that he owned a large tract of land in the province of Bulacan, where he cultivated rice and other crops.

Another individual of note was Maria Sadang, a local healer and midwife who lived in the town of Malolos in the early 19th century. She was renowned for her expertise in traditional medicine and her skill in delivering babies.

In the late 19th century, a man named Pedro Sadang gained recognition as a skilled carpenter and woodworker. He was responsible for constructing several churches and public buildings in his region, many of which still stand today as examples of traditional Filipino architecture.

During the Spanish colonial period, the surname Sadang was often spelled in various ways, such as "Sadangue" or "Sadangh," reflecting the influence of Spanish orthography on Filipino names.
