Excerpt from The Origin and the Meaning of the Name California: Calafia the Queen of the Island of California, Title Page of Las Sergas Before the acquisition of California from Mexico, 1848, there had been several attempts to declare the origin and the meaning of the name california, and in subsequent years the subject was revived. The proposed solutions indicate that the matter has not been so fully or so clearly presented to our people as it might be; and there fore we have undertaken the task Of tracing the history of the name, and have ventured to give a meaning to this and associated names. For this purpose we present such of the modern explanations as we have access to, from Robert Dudley, 1630-47, to authorities as late as 1903. We exhibit the use Of the name in early charts and in early Span ish documents and narratives to the end of the seventeenth century. The first recent historian to point to the source of the name was George Ticknor, in his History of Spanish Literature.
