In the late 19th and early 20th century, Donji Miholjac was a district capital in the Virovitica County of the Kingdom of Croatia-Slavonia. Its name comes from Saint Michael. During the time of Ancient Rome, it was called Mariniana.{{cite web|title=The history of Donji Miholjac on its official site (Croatian)|url=http://www.donjimiholjac.hr/povijest-grada}} There are several suggested etymology for the name "Mariniana". One is that it comes from the Roman personal name "Marinus". The other is that it comes from the Indo-European roots *mory and *h1ny, so that it means "marshy valley". If so, the same root is seen in the names "Mursa" and "Marsonia".{{Cite web|url=http://linguistforum.com/outside-of-the-box/croatian-toponyms/|title = Croatian toponyms - Linguist Forum}}{{unreliable source?|date=August 2017}}
