Answer 2

Jupiter, Florida got its name from the Hobe Indian tribe that originally inhabited the area, who referred to the area as "Hobe." When Spanish explorers arrived, they mistranslated "Hobe" as "Jove," another word for Jupiter, the Roman god of the sky and thunder. Over time, the name stuck and the area became known as Jupiter.
