    From the 10th year of the Quang Thuan era of the Later Le Dynasty, King Le Thanh Tong changed Thanh Hoa province to Thanh Hoa province. The name Thanh Hoa continued to be used until 1843, when King Thieu Tri of the Nguyen Dynasty officially named the region Thanh Hoa province, similar to the Dinh and Le dynasties.

    According to the Đại Nam thực lục (Chronicles of Đại Nam), the king's decision to change the name of Thanh Hoa back to Thanh Hóa was based on the ancient way of naming it: "Considering the historical records of Vietnam, the ancient province of Thanh was Thanh Hóa. Therefore, it is permitted to revert to the ancient name, and the official seals and stamps will also be changed and issued."
