Etymology
Sonoran comes from the place name Sonora, the state in northwestern Mexico and its large desert. The name Sonora may come from the Spanish word sonoro, meaning 'loud', and a helpful way to remember it is to think of English sonic or 'sound'. So Sonoran means 'from Sonora' and is used for things of that region, like the Sonoran Desert.
