Etymological Map of Mexico.

Fun Fact: There are at least 13 languages from which Mexico’s states get their name. They come from Mexico and Europe of course, but also from South America and even the Muslim World.

Fun Fact #2: I’m from Zacatecas, the place “where grass abounds”. There is absolutely no grass there, it’s just desert.

Edit: There was a mixup where it says “Morelia” it should be “Morelos”. The former is actually the capital city of the state of Michoacán.
