It is named after the local chief, Mutoko. The town is the capital of the Mutoko District, which is inhabited by the Buja people. The Buja people are said to have settled in Mutoko coming from the north through Mhingari in what is now Mozambique. They were led by Nehor-eka, his father Mukombwe, his brothers Nyanzunzu and Mukwiradombo and sister Chingate. Nehor-eka found Makate and his people in this area and Nehor-eka gave his sister Chingate to Makate as a wife who later tricked Makate into losing the kingdom to Nehor-eka., a spiritual leader of the Buja people. Nehor-eka's totem is shumba.
