Aritao, officially the Municipality of Aritao, is a 2nd class municipality in the province of Nueva VizcayaPhilippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 37,225 people.[3]

The ethnic minority called Isinai (the same term for the local spoken dialect) were the original residents of this town. The name Aritao came from the Isinai phrase Ari Tau "which stands for "Our King" (ari=king & tau=our) which refers to the legendary Isinai Chieftain Mengal, a fierce and brave king who resisted Spanish conquest of the Isinai territories around Ajanas and Ynordenan (the areas comprising what is now most of Aritao).
