History and origin
The etymology of the word Mangela comes from the words Mang, meaning fishing nets in the Marathi language and Ela meaning people. Literally, the word means a fisherman, and the Mangela Koli are a community of Koli fishermen.
According to some traditions, the Mangela community originates from Roha Raigadh, in South India and migrated from South India, and settled at western north coast of Maharashtra. They now speak Kokani and those settled in Gujarat also speak Gujarati.[2]
