==Etymology==
According to legend, the name Romblon was derived from the Romblomanon word "''Nagalumyom''", which pertains to a chicken in the act of sitting on its eggs on a nest.〔Local historian Francis Ray Prado details the legend, saying that when the Spanish, led by conquistador Martin de Goiti, arrived in Romblon Island in 1569, they wandered along the island's beaches searching for food and water. One of the men encountered a hut with a hen's nest on top of a post near its window. The man asked the house's occupant, a young woman, if he could have the hen for free, but the woman, unable to understand Spanish, answered, "''Nagalumyom!''" which in the local language means "the hen was brooding eggs." 〕 This eventually evolved to ''Lomlom'', and later on to ''Donblon'', the name reported by chronicler Miguel de Loarca in his book ''Relacion de las Islas Filipinas'' in 1582, before finally evolving to Romblon.
Meanwhile, local historians Roland Madeja and Evelyn Reyes relates the origin of the name Romblon to the shape of Romblon Island. Madeja claims that the name was derived from the Spanish word ''ronblon'', another term for ''tornillo'', meaning "screw." According to him, the Spanish claimed to have observed the screw-like shape of Romblon Island. Meanwhile, Reyes claims Romblon originated from "doubloon", which refers to the Spanish coin used by Moro pirates in paying dowries for their brides-to-be. The Spanish might have named the island after the shape of the coin.
