Unknown. Compare Sambali dangal and Kapampangan dangal.

Zorc (1982) speculated that the word is possibly ultimately from Proto-Austronesian *dəŋəʀ (“to hear; sound”) on the basis that Visayan language descendants such as Aklanon dungog, Cebuano dungog, Hiligaynon dungog meaning “hearing; overhear; fame; honor; get to know by hearsay; reputation; prestige”. Possible doublet of dinig. Compare Pangasinan dengel (“to hear”).

It has also been hypothesized that it is borrowed from Malay dengar (“to hear, to listen”), following the phonological adaptation pattern observed in other Tagalog borrowings from Malay where forms like CəCar become CaCal (cf. benar > banal (“holy, true”); kembar > kambal (“twin”)). This is supported by Adelaar (1994), citing Wolff (1976), who notes Tagalog reflects i or u (not a) for Proto-Austronesian *ə and g (not l) for *ʀ in inherited vocabulary (e.g. Proto-Austronesian *bəʀas > Tagalog bigas, Malay bəras), suggesting dangal is likely a loanword.
