Nevada means: Snow-clad; snow-covered. And the first recorded decendent of the Ruiz name was a gentleman named Fransico Ruiz Galan. He was known to be one of the early explorers to travel with Magellin. When Magellin died Fransico Ruiz Galan took took over command of his fleet. It would be a safe guess to say that Fransico Ruiz Galan named a snow covered/ snow clad (Nevada) mass or mountain after his family crest name. Nevada del Ruiz.
