Looking for La Jolla, San Diego, California?
The origin of the name is obscure. Some say it is a corruption of ahoy, called out by sailors seeking the attention of people on the shore. Promoters of La Jolla claim it is from the Spanish la joya, meaning the jewel . A more likely though less glamorous theory is that La Jolla is a corruption of the Native American word Woholle, meaning hole in the mountain , referring to the caves in the north-facing cliffs next to La Jolla Cove Park.
