Best Answer

Amazon comes from latin amazon, fearless warriors women, according to the legend they dominated Capadócia(In ancient geography, Cappadocia or Capadocia, Turkish Kapadokya (from Persian: Katpatuka meaning "the land of beautiful horses",)

There is a second definition for the word amazon , and says that it has an idian origin meaning "noise of waters, thunder water. The name also was given by the spanish captain Francisco Orelhana who met a warriors women tribe and so he associated the original name amazon to it.

O nome Amazonas é de origem indígena, da palavra amassunu, que quer dizer "ruído de águas, água que retumba". Foi originalmente dado ao Rio que banha o Estado pelo capitão espanhol Francisco Orelhana, quando, ao descê-lo em todo o seu comprimento, em 1541, a certa altura encontrou uma tribo de índias guerreiras, com a qual lutou. Associando-se às Amazonas do Termodonte, deu-lhes o mesmo nome[4].
