According to the official version, the name of the State of Texas comes from the word tasha, which in the Caddo indigenous language, spoken by the Indians of the Hasinai nation, means "friendship." This conclusion was reached by the American historian Herbert Eugene Bolton in 1907 based on the claim that, during the 1689 expedition led by Alonso de Leon, there was a meeting between Fray Damian Massanet and some Indians who said techas to them, as a sign of friendship. From the study of the bibliography, we find that in 1606 this territory was already called Tejas, fact that, by itself, invalidates the official version.Probably the name of the State of Texas has its origin in the word texa, or texo, as it was written in old Spanish. These were the names given to a very familiar, sacred tree in Spain. The Neches River was baptized at first with the name of River of the Texas because of the abundance of trees of this species that populated the river.

“[A] linguist . . . takes readers on a tour across the state, using names and language to tell its history.” ―Alcalde Was Gasoline, Texas, named in honor of a gas station? Nope, but the name does honor the town’s original claim to fame: a gasoline-powered cotton gin. Is Paris, Texas, a reference to Paris, France? Yes: Thomas Poteet, who donated land for the town site, thought it would be an improvement over “Pin Hook,” the original name of the Lamar County seat. Ding Dong’s story has a nice ring to it; the name was derived from two store owners named Bell, who lived in Bell County, of course. Tracing the turning points, fascinating characters, and cultural crossroads that shaped Texas history, Texas Place Names provides the colorful stories behind these and more than three thousand other county, city, and community names. Drawing on in-depth research to present the facts behind the folklore, linguist Edward Callary also clarifies pronunciations (it’s NAY-chis for Neches, referring to a Caddoan people whose name was attached to the Neches River during a Spanish expedition). A great resource for road trippers and historians alike, Texas Place Names alphabetically charts centuries of humanity through the enduring words (and, occasionally, the fateful spelling gaffes) left behind by men and women from all walks of life. “[A] quite useful book.” ―Austin American-Statesman
