Excerpt from California Names and Their Literal Meanings: Also Other Primary Geography Names and Their Meanings Naming places is like naming babies, and it is a mere chance if the name fits. We name them after some great man, we name them after our own dear selves. We call a bay or a baby Pearl and we think we have described it. We even, at times, select fancy names of no meaning. This little list of names is neither complete nor accur ate. The California names, I have gathered in twenty years roaming around this State. I printed a small list, sixteen years ago, which has been going the rounds of the newspapers ever since. The translation of our Spanish names, is not always easy. Many are corrupt spellings, and the dictionary meaning may not be the true one. I give them as they were given to me by the old settlers, and if they did not know the true meaning they invented one.

Nellie Van de Grift Sanchez (1856-1935) was the younger sister of Robert Louis Stevenson's wife Fanny and at one time, prior to her own marriage, acted as Stevenson's amanuensis. Fanny died in 1914 and her sister published a biography entitled The Life of Mrs Robert Louis Stevenson in 1920. This work, published in 1914 and illustrated throughout, delves into the history behind place names in California, derived from both the Native Americans and early Spanish explorers, and offers an insight into their meanings. .
