Florida
Ponce De Leon came there looking for the fountain of youth but only fond flowers so he called it La Florida meaning flowery.
Texas
Texas owes its name to the Caddo tribe – and the Spaniards. During the Spanish exploration of Texas in the 1540s, the Spaniards met the Hasnai Caddo tribe in present-day East Texas. the Native Americans used the word tayshas for “friends” or “allies.” In Spanish, the translation came out as tejas. Eventually, Tejas became Texas.
