oregón 51
One of 50 U.S. states located to the west on the Pacific line below Washintong and above that of California. The name would derive from our oregano, abundant plant in the south. The place name also exists in Spain in the region of Montiel. The Arroyo del Oregon is a tributary of the Jabalón and east of the Guadiana. Others would derive it from orejón, a place-name assigned perhaps by the conquerors. And even there are those who advocate the French ouragan, derived from our hurricane, a term that the Spaniards took from the taino, for the presence of hurricane winds in the Pacific area.
