Jalan Dang Wangi was originally named after Douglas Campbell, the resident of Negri Sembilan, Johor’s first British advisor.
On 24 April, 1980, it was renamed after a historical or legendary woman who features in the Sejarah Melayu as well as Hikayat Hang Tuah. Dang Wangi, also called Dang Baru and Dang Inangsih, is the mother of Hang Jebat’s son, Laksamana Hang Nadim. She is said to have been present during the duel between Hang Tuah and Hang Jebat.
