Etymology
Aquitania comes from the name of an old people, the Aquitani, and one idea links it to Latin aqua ('water') because the area has rivers and a coast. A helpful way to remember it is to think of Aquitania as a 'water land', which helps you recall it is the historical region in southwest France between Bordeaux and the Pyrenees.
