助記提示
Florida這個名字最初是有西班牙人胡安·彭斯·德·里昂提出的。他于1512年復活節的那天乘船抵達了佛羅里達海岸，而那天又正好是周日。這樣的日子在西班牙語里被叫做Pascua Florida，原本意為”開花的“。彭斯就以Florida來命名了這片土地。
英文詞源
- Florida
- U.S. state, formerly a Spanish colony, probably from Spanish Pascua florida, literally "flowering Easter," a Spanish name for Palm Sunday, and so named because the peninsula was discovered on that day (March 20, 1513) by the expedition of Spanish explorer Ponce de León (1474-1521). From Latin floridus "flowery, in bloom" (see florid). Related: Floridian (1580s as a noun, in reference to the natives; 1819 as an adjective).
