Mayorga at first was a barrio under the municipality of Dulag. The name first appeared in the record of localities in 1865 when Capitan Lorenzo de Paz, gobernadorcillo of Dulag, created the barrio. The name was suggested by Fr. Victoriano Sela, a Franciscan Friar and the parish priest of Dulag at the time.

Originally the name was Mallorca, the name of the hometown of Fr. Sela. The name presumably suggests the presence of palm trees in the locality, as the island of Mallorca (IPA: [ma'ʝorka]) in Spain was famous for its luxurious growth of palms. However, the natives found some difficulty in pronouncing the name. Whether the natural evolution and popular usage corrupted the name "Mallorca" into the present "Mayorga," or whether the transformation was sanctioned by official decree motivated by phonetic convenience is not known. Nevertheless, the original "Mallorca" has evolved into its present name.
