Some articles in popular literature state that MHOW stands for '''M'''ilitary '''H'''eadquarters '''O'''f '''W'''ar. However, this is a [[backronym]], and there is no proof to support the theory that the name of the village comes from the acronym. The village near Mhow was called Mhow Gaon in the pre-[[British Raj|British]] era, when English was not used in India. The Cantonment which came up in 1818 came to be known as Mhow Cantt after the name of this village. [[Sir John Malcolm]] spelt the name of this town as MOW in his writings. The 1918 edition of Encyclopædia Britannica also mentions 'MAU'. However, the Cantonment was referred to by British officers as Mhow at least as early as the end of 1823 (letter from Lt Edward Squibb to his father in London).

In 2003, the town was renamed Dr. Ambedkar Nagar in honour of [[B. R. Ambedkar]], who was born here. The renaming has not been without controversy. Many claim that it has been done due to the compulsions of [[vote bank]] politics. The new name is used for official purposes and has not been widely accepted.
