Etymology
Tijuana probably comes from a local Indigenous place name that Spanish speakers adapted into the form we use today. A popular story connects it to Tía Juana (literally 'Aunt Jane'), but a helpful way to remember Tijuana is to think of it as the old village name that stayed with the city on the border and by the sea.
