The name "Arizona" is believed to derive from the Spanish word "Arizonac," which is thought to have originated from the O'odham language term "ali sonak," meaning "small spring." The name was first used in the 18th century to refer to a mining area in the region. It was officially adopted when Arizona became a U.S. territory in 1863.
