记忆方法
Arizona这个词语中，除了词尾的那个a，其余部分来自美国西南印第安人部落的帕帕哥语。Ari意为稀有，Zon意为泉水，合起来就是“稀有泉水”。亚利桑那地处沙漠，这样一来这个地名就很易于理解了。后来西班牙人来了，根据拉丁文字表地名的习惯在词语最后加了个ae。传承中e被省略，剩下了Arizona。

英语词源
- Arizona
- 1861, originally as the name of a breakaway Confederate region of southern New Mexico; organized roughly along modern lines as a U.S. territory in 1863. From Spanish Arizonac, probably from a local name among the O'odham (Piman) people meaning "having a little spring." Alternative theory is that it derives from Basque arizonak "good oaks."
