Arizona

English

Map of the US with Arizona in red

Etymology

Uncertain. Two very different origins have been proposed:

• From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] Basque aritz ona (“good oak”), from aritz (“oak”) + ona (“good”).
• From (deprecated template usage) [etyl] O'odham alĭ ṣonak (“small spring”), from alĭ (“small”) ṣonak (“spring”).

The claim that it comes from Spanish árida (“dry”) and zona (“zone”) is folk etymology.
