The Golden Gate Bridge is named after the Golden Gate Strait, the narrow entrance between San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The strait was named by U.S. Army Captain John C. Frémont in 1846, who likened its beauty to the Golden Horn in Istanbul. The bridge's name reflects both its geographical location and the striking visual appeal of the iconic structure.
