From a historical and linguistic point of view, Ambatondrazaka originates from two words: "Vato" which means stone in Malagasy, and Razak. The name refers to an oath which Razak took befrore a stone lifted at Andohatanjona.

A railroad once connected the city to the capital but is no longer in use.
