助記提示
Arizona這個詞語中，除了詞尾的那個a，其余部分來自美國西南印第安人部落的帕帕哥語。Ari意為稀有，Zon意為泉水，合起來就是“稀有泉水”。亞利桑那地處沙漠，這樣一來這個地名就很易于理解了。后來西班牙人來了，根據拉丁文字表地名的習慣在詞語最后加了個ae。傳承中e被省略，剩下了Arizona。
英文詞源
- Arizona
- 1861, originally as the name of a breakaway Confederate region of southern New Mexico; organized roughly along modern lines as a U.S. territory in 1863. From Spanish Arizonac, probably from a local name among the O'odham (Piman) people meaning "having a little spring." Alternative theory is that it derives from Basque arizonak "good oaks."
