Most of those disappeared at least a century ago as the Board worked to Anglicize, standardize and expunge foreign-appearing names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prevalence of the Tilde<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless I checked the Geographic Names Information System (<a href=\"https:\/\/geonames.usgs.gov\/pls\/gnispublic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GNIS<\/a>) and it included a number of places with the &#8220;Ca\u00f1-&#8221; prefix, often in Puerto Rico as one might expect along with many others in southwestern states that were once part of Mexico, and before that part of Spain. I discovered various other appearances of the tilde-n and placed a representative sample of the more significant towns onto a simple map.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1lyxhjJJHqXLq2_kpLlsyQmPtDsk\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spanish <em>ca\u00f1a<\/em> derived from Latin, <em>canna<\/em>, meaning cane or reed. Water would flow through a hollow cane much like water would carve deep narrow slots through rock. Thus a ca\u00f1on could be thought of as a big cane, which seemed appropriate as I thought about it awhile. Eventually English-speaking people came to the area and we ended up with a bunch of canyons instead of ca\u00f1ones. Only a few places retained or later reverted back to the older form including settlements like Ca\u00f1on City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many different sites traced the official loss of Ca\u00f1on City&#8217;s tilde to a 1906 Board decision and its reversal in 1994. I looked through a few sources to confirm the claims. The tilde existed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/books\/edition\/Southern_Colorado\/PVZNAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=history+of+Ca%C3%B1on+City+colorado&amp;printsec=frontcover#v=snippet&amp;q=%22Ca%C3%B1on%20City%22&amp;f=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in 1879<\/a> as the predominant usage, along with Canon City less frequently. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/books\/edition\/Third_Report_of_the_United_States_Board\/plGAAAAAMAAJ?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=u.s.+board+on+geographic+names+1906&amp;pg=PA44&amp;printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1906 Decision<\/a> referenced by various publications noted bluntly, &#8220;Canyon city and RR station Fremont county Colo Not Ca\u00f1on City.&#8221; Later the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/books\/edition\/Decisions_on_Geographic_Names_in_the_Uni\/vZN-AAAAMAAJ?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1994 Decision<\/a> did indeed include the tilde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do\u00f1a Ana<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/auvet\/4713169110\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/4027\/4713169110_74662d52c0_b.jpg\" alt=\"Do\u00f1a Ana County Line. Photo by Jimmy Emerson, DVM; (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Do\u00f1a Ana also came to mind as I pondered the tilde. New Mexico has featured a Do\u00f1a Ana county since 1852.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Linguistically, Do\u00f1a was a term of respect reserved for the lady of the house, from the Latin <em>domus<\/em> (house). So, Do\u00f1a Ana would be something like Mrs. Anna in English. That led me to wonder about this particular Do\u00f1a named Ana, and what she must have done to merit a county named in her honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobody knew for certain although she appeared to be a figure from the 17th Century when the territory belonged to Spain. Most sources including a <a href=\"https:\/\/newmexicohistoricalmarkers.blogspot.com\/2013\/01\/dona-ana-historical-marker-historic.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">New Mexico Historical Marker<\/a> identified her as Do\u00f1a Ana Robledo, a particularly generous and charitable woman of the time. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/books\/edition\/The_Place_Names_of_New_Mexico\/p3fMJnT1gx0C?hl=en&amp;gbpv=1&amp;dq=Do%C3%B1a+Ana+Robledo&amp;pg=PA112&amp;printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&amp;q=Do%C3%B1a%20Ana%20Robledo&amp;f=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Place Names of New Mexico<\/a> offered a competing although somewhat more pedestrian and probably more realistic theory; &#8220;<em>&#8230;a more likely eponymn was one Do\u00f1a Ana Mar\u00eda de C\u00f3rdoba, whose ranch was located here.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tilde disappeared and reappeared from Do\u00f1a Ana, too. I consulted several maps from the latter part of the 19th Century. Sometimes they used the tilde and sometimes they did not. The reappearance continued even recently. The US Census Bureau had to add the tilde for the 2010 Census, as an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Few Others<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Other place names included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Espa\u00f1ola, New Mexico (feminine form of espa\u00f1ol, a female Spaniard)<\/li><li>Pe\u00f1asco, New Mexico (large elevated rock, e.g., rocky point)<\/li><li>Rancho Pe\u00f1asquitos, California (little rocks; little cliffs)<\/li><li>Ca\u00f1ones, New Mexico (more than one Ca\u00f1on)<\/li><li>La Ca\u00f1ada Flintridge, California (more like a glen or ravine than a Ca\u00f1on)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I did my best with those translations. Any Spanish-speaking readers should feel free to offer clarifications and corrections. The tilde made a big difference in that last usage too. Drop the diacritical mark and it would be Canada, a completely different etymology for a completely different location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La Ca\u00f1ada Canada would be a great name for a Mexican restaurant in Toronto, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I received a message recently from a 12MC reader in Ca\u00f1on City, Colorado.
