Etymology
Sucre comes from the last name of the independence leader Antonio José de Sucre. The city was named to honour him, which is why Sucre is known today as Bolivia's judicial capital. A helpful way to remember it is that Sucre is also the French word for 'sugar', so imagine a 'sweet' name given to a national hero.
