Etymology
Saratoga is the name of a town that likely comes from a Native American word such as Sarachtoga, meaning 'place of swift water' or 'hillside country'. That old meaning fits the town's rivers and mineral springs and helps explain why the name is still used for the famous resort and horse races.
