Ranch comes from the Spanish Rancho. Since Texas, New Mexico and Mexico have a high population of Spanish speaking people then the American use of the word would follow but removing the 'o'. Many Americans would assume Ranch was an American word that the Mexicans were unable to pronounce without adding an 'o'. They would be wrong in their ignorance as the more likely origins of any words in the US have likely come from Europe. Och Aye from Scotland from the mouths of Irish immigrants might have come out O'kaye or as it is known now Okay.
