Etymology
Berkeley was named after the philosopher Bishop George Berkeley, and his last name originally came from an old English place name made of beorc 'birch' and lēah 'clearing'. So a simple way to remember Berkeley is to imagine a small clearing of birch trees, the image behind the city's name.
