The Great Basin got its name from the Spanish term "Gran Cuenca," which refers to a large, enclosed drainage area. This name was used to describe the region's unique topography, where water does not flow out to the ocean but instead collects in interior basins. The term "Great Basin" was popularized in the 19th century as explorers and geographers studied the area, emphasizing its vast and arid landscape.
