Rio de Janeiro was named after the "River of January" in Portuguese. The name originated from the arrival of Portuguese explorers in January 1502, who mistakenly believed they had discovered the mouth of a river. In reality, they encountered Guanabara Bay, which is not a river. The name stuck, and the city eventually became known as Rio de Janeiro.
