The species domestication is attributed to India around 2000 BCE.[4] Mango was brought to East Asia around 400–500 BCE, in the 15th century to the Philippines, and in the 16th century to Africa and Brazil by Portuguese explorers.[5] The species was assessed and first named in botanical nomenclature by Linnaeus in 1753.[6] Mango is the national fruit of India, Pakistan and the Philippines and the national tree of Bangladesh
