The name "Mindoro" is believed to have originated from the Spanish term "mangrove," which refers to the region's rich mangrove forests. Another theory suggests it derives from the phrase "min dulot," meaning "gift of the sea" in the local Tagalog dialect. The province was officially named during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines in the 16th century, with the Spanish explorers and missionaries playing a key role in its naming and documentation.
