It was worth a guess.
I didn't bother to check any official texts. Latin is the basis of much of our language and so it doesn't really surprise me to be incorrect in this instance.
As a kid one grow up with all these names and words, and as one gets older one suddenly realizes the various origins. Many of our state names for example mostly derive from Indian tribal languages and in the southwest, many cities derive from the Spanish and their explorations.
Looking at old English texts and the spelling is also fascinating. One sees how misspelling of words has often led to our current "correct" spelling.
Again, thanks for looking it up!
