Orani, officially the Municipality of Orani ({{langx|tl|Bayan ng Orani}}), is a municipality in the province of Bataan, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 70,342 people.{{PH census|current}}

Folk etymology

According to legend, while a Spaniard was exploring a dense forest in what is now Orani, Bataan, he encountered a native who was chopping down a large tree. When the Spaniard asked the name of the tree, the native replied "narra." However, the Spaniard misunderstood and thought the native said "no ira," which means "unselfish" in Spanish. The Spaniard rearranged the letters from these words to form the name "Orani," which eventually became the official name of the town.{{cite web | url=https://www.bataan.gov.ph/orani/ | title=Orani }}

History

In 1714, the town and church of Orani were established as an independent missionary center. The Dominican friars constructed the church, which served as their quarters in Bataan. Orani grew into a prosperous town, but suffered significant damage during the earthquake of September 16, 1852, which destroyed the church and municipal government building.

Reconstruction began in 1891, but progress was interrupted by a major fire on March 16, 1938, which burned most of the town, including schools, the church, and town hall. Reconstruction efforts were halted by the outbreak of World War II, which caused further devastation. However, after the war, the town began rebuilding again.{{cite web | url=https://www.bataan.gov.ph/orani/ | title=Orani }}
