Etymology

Uncertain. Two very different origins have been proposed:

  • From Basque aritz ona ‎(“good oak”), from aritz ‎(“oak”) + ona ‎(“good”).
  • From O'odham alĭ ṣonak ‎(“small spring”), from alĭ ‎(“small”) ṣonak ‎(“spring”).

The claim that it comes from Spanish árida ‎(“dry”) and zona ‎(“zone”) is folk etymology.
