California (W3)

(E?)(L?) http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/California
Der Schriftsteller Garci Rodriguez Ordonez Montalvo schrieb um 1500 eine Novelle "Las sergas de Esplandian" über die Amazonen. Darin bezeichnete er deren Land als "California". Es wird angenommen, dass man diesen Namen für das neue wundervolle Land Kalifornien verwendete.

Coachella (city) Riverside County (W3)

(E2)(L1) http://www.epodunk.com/cgi-bin/genInfo.php?locIndex=10008
The community was named after Indian tribe.

Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard (Uma inornata) (W3)

Das "Coachella Valley" liegt in der Colorado-Wüste in Süd-Kalifornien. Das Tal trägt den gleichen Namen wie die Stadt "Coachella" in mitten des Tals. Vor 1900 hieß das Tal noch "Cahuilla" nach dem hier wohnenden Indianer-Stamm "Cahuilla". Ein weiterer Name des Tals war span. "Conchilla" = "Little (Muschel-)Schale", in Bezug auf die hier gefundenen fossilen Muscheln. Der heutige Name "Coachella" entstand aus einem Schreibfehler auf einer offiziellen Landkarte.

(E?)(L?) http://www.arkive.org/coachella-valley-fringe-toed-lizard/uma-inornata/description.html
The "Coachella Valley fringe-toed lizard" is a small, highly specialised reptile, suited to a life on continually shifting sands. The scaly fringes along the toes of the feet, after which this lizard is named, enable it to move with ease across and through sand, while thick, serrated eyelids prevent sand from getting in the eyes.

Die Bezeichnung bot. "coachellae" bezieht sich auf das in Kalifornien liegende "Coachella Valley".

(E2)(L1) http://www.calflora.net/botanicalnames/pageCI-CY.html
"coachellae": presumably named after the "Coachella Valley" where it grows (ref. Astragalus lentiginosus var. coachellae).

Crescent City (W3)

Hinter allen Bezeichnungen mit "Crescent" steckt der "aufgehende Halbmond".

Meine Stichproben ergaben, dass es zur überwiegenden Anzahl der Informationen zu US-amerikanischen Städten auch Hinweise zur Namensgebung gibt, die meist mit der Formel "The community was named ..." eingeleitet werden.
Dies rechtfertigt die Aufnahme im Etymologie-Portal.

Girdiana (W3)

Die Weinrebe "Girdiana" trägt den Namen von "Henry Harrison Gird" (1826-1913).

(E?)(L?) http://www.calflora.net/botanicalnames/pageG.html
(E?)(L?) http://www.calflora.net/bloomingplants/wildgrape.html
Henry Harrison Gird (1826-1913), who was born in New York and moved with his family as a baby to Louisiana where his father, Henry Hatton Gird III, was appointed the second President and Professor of Mathematics and Natural History at the College of Louisiana, at that time the largest university west of the Mississippi River.
...
he sold the farm and emigrated to California.
...
Henry Gird became active in organizing a school district, with the result that a district bearing his name was formed.
...
A family orchard was started and at one time contained practically every kind of fruit suited to the location.
...
The Gird Ranch was a popular place. There was a saying at that time that "All roads lead to Girds". The road that led to the Gird Ranch was later named "Gird Road". It was Henry Harrison Gird who brought the grape species that eventually bore his name to the attention of Thomas Volney Munson (1843-1913), a grape breeder in Dennison, Texas, and one of the leading experts in native American grape species, who described and named it. Henry and Martha died within a few months of each other at Fallbrook in 1913.

Gouvernator, Governator, gropenator, gropenführer (W3)

(E?)(L?) http://www.americandialect.org/index.php/amerdial/2003_words_of_the_yea/
"governator", "gropenator", "gropenführer": noun, the current Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Kaum wurde Arnold Schwarzenegger am 07.10.2003 zum Gouverneur von Kalifornien gewählt, gibt es auch schon einen neuen Begriff, den "Gouvernator", die Zusammensetzung von "Governor" und "Terminator".

Interessanterweise geht der frz. "gouverneur" auf den lat. "gubernator" zurück. Dies war der "Steuermann" ("gubernare" = "das Steuerruder führen; lenken").

Hollywood Los Angeles County (W3)

Die Namensgebung für Hollywood-Orte kann im Einzelfall unterschiedliche Beweggründe haben, wie etwa die Benennung nach der Herkunft des Gründers. Grundsätzlich geht der Ortsname aber auf Umwegen zurück auf engl. "holy" = "heilig".

Vor allem in Großbritannien und in den USA dienten die Stechpalmen zur weihnachtlichen Schmückerei. Die Stechpalmen hatten ursprünglich mystische Bedeutung. Aus den immergrünen Palmenzweigen wurden Stechpalmenzweige, die in das christliche Brauchtum übernommen wurden (vgl. "Palmsonntag"). Jedenfalls entstanden in den USA auch große Pflanzungen mit Stechpalmen, sogenannte "Holly-Farmen". Und so sind die originären Orte namens "Hollywood" auch auf entsprechende "Ilexwälder" zurückzuführen (Stechpalme, bot. "Ilex aquifolium").

"Hollywood" bezeichnet zunächst den Distrikt in Los Angeles Stadt und auch seit 1926 auch im übertragenen Sinn die Amerikanische Filmindustrie.

Ausgangspunkt war eine Ortsgründung im Jahr 1886 durch Horace Wilcox. Die Namensgebung erfolgte durch seine Frau Daeida. Diese soll "Hollywood" nach dem Heimatort eines Freundes "Hollywood" in Chicago benannt haben.

Andere Quellen sprechen davon, dass Wilcox's Frau "Hollywood" nach dem Sommersitz einer Bekannten benannt hat.

Das erste Filmstudio wurde 1911 eröffnet. Andere Angaben sprechen davon, dass sich bereits 1910 die BIOGRAPH Film Company als erster Filmbetrieb unter der Leitung von D.W.Griffith ansiedelte.

Abgeleitet von "Hollywood" sind: "Hollywood-Film", "Hollywood-Kuss", "Hollywoodstudio", "Hollywood-Verfilmung"

Hollywood Sign Security
In Los Angeles, the "HOLLYWOOD" sign is protected by a fence and a locked gate. Because several different agencies need access to the sign for various purposes, the chain locking the gate is formed by several locks linked together. Each of the agencies has the key to its own lock, and not the key to any of the others. Of course, anyone who can open one of the locks can open the gate.

This is a nice example of a multiple-user access-control system. It's simple, and it works. You can also make it as complicated as you want, with different locks in parallel and in series.

La Crescenta Los Angeles County
The community was named for three crescent-shaped land formations.

Los Angeles, Portiunkula-Ablass (W3)

Die kalifornische Stadt "Los Angeles" heißt übersetzt "Die Engel". Dies ist jedoch nur eine Kurzform ihres ursprünglichen Namens. Am 02. August 1769 begleitete der Franziskaner-Pater Juan Crespi den Kapitän Fernando Rivera Y Moncado auf der ersten (europäischen) Landexpedition durch Kalifornien. In seinem Tagebuch verzeichnet er einen Fluß, dem sie den Namen "Nuestra Señora de los Angeles de la Porciúncula" gaben.

Am 02. August feierten die Franziskaner nämlich das Vergebungsfest in der kleinen Kapelle des heiligen Franz von Assissi, die er von den Benediktinern erhalten hatte. Diese Kapelle stand auf einer "kleinen Parzelle", ital. "porziuncola" und hinter dem Altar befand sich ein Bild der Jungfrau Maria umgeben von Engeln. Und so trug diese Kapelle auch den Namen "Heilige Maria der Engel auf der kleinen Parzelle" = "Saint Mary of the Angels at the Little Portion".

Und als nun 1781 ein Ansiedlung an dem Fluß "Nuestra Señora de los Angeles de la Porciúncula" gegründet wurde, erhielt sie den Namen "El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles de Porciúncula", also "Die Stadt der heiligen Maria der Engel der kleinen Parzelle".
Und davon blieb dann "Los Angeles" übrig.

Auf die kleine Marienkapelle auf der Parzelle des Franz von Assissi bezieht sich auch der "Portiunkula-Ablass", den man am 02. August in Franziskanerkirchen erhalten kann.

The "Magnolia District" was formed in the summer of 2008 out of the need of two friends looking to play together again in a band once more.
...
So the day that Joe moved back into town Greg asked him to join his new band and he was thinking of calling it "The Magnolia District" due to the area of Stockton where he grew up. Joe immediately said "yes!"

Metz Monterey County (W3)

Die Gemeinde "Metz" im Monterey County, US, CA, trägt den Namen eines frühen Ranchers mit dem Namen "W.H.H. Metz". Dessen Name könnte entweder als Berufsname auf "Metzger" zurück gehen oder sich als Herkunftsname auf "Metz" in Lothringen beziehen.

Port Chicago Contra Costa County (W3)

Leider konnte ich keinen Hinweis zur Namensgebung finden.

Meine Vermutung geht dahin, dass ein ehemalige Chicagoer für die Namensgebung verantwortlich zeichnen. Der "Chicago" der Sprache der dort ansässigen Indianer entstammt gehe ich davon aus, dass eine direkter sprachlicher Bezug zur entsprechenden Bedeutung "Stinktier" bzw. "(Knob-)Lauch" nicht besteht.

Arnold Schwarzenegger (1947)

Ein Mitglied des ADS in der Mailingliste vom 08.10.2003: (Nach der Wahl von Arnold Schwarzenegger zum Gouverneur von Kalifornien.)
I believe Arnold's name is a compound, "Schwartz" = "black", "dark" and "-egg" = German "Eck", "corner", "edge" and "er" = agentive suffix ... so I guess somewhere in Thal bei Graz there's a farmer whose land is a "Schwarzenegg".

Ein weiterer Beitrag auf die Frage "Does anyone know what "Schwarzenegger" translates to?"
"schwarz" = "black", "egge" = "a harrow"; also a dialect form for "Ecke" = "corner", "edge", "piece".
So, his name probably means "black corner". This would be a corner or piece of a field, town, or some such area. The black could refer to the soil itself, or to an area that was black because it was in the shadows of trees.

Am 01.10.2005 erhielt ich den folgenden Hinweis von Louis Elteto, Portland, Oregon

Near Salzburg there is an Alpine meadow, "Schwarzenegg"; in Switzerland, there is a town called "Schwarzenegg". There may be other places with such a name. The family name most likely derives from a location: "Schwarzenegger": someone from "Schwarzenegg".

Ein Vorfahre von Arnold "Schwarzenegger" war also einer der entweder am "schwarzen Eck" wohnte oder aus einem der Orte namens "Schwarzenegg" stammte.
