Tijuana

With a name like Tijuana, your little one will feel connected to the Mexican city and any place located near the sea. This moniker is most frequently associated with Tijuana, a city in Baja California, Mexico, that lies along the Tecate River. Once a ranch settlement, Tijuana's name is said to derive from the language of the Kumeyaay, the First Nations people who dwelled there. It possibly stems from tiwan, a phrase meaning "by the sea," describing the city's Pacific Coast setting. Urban legend puts forward "Aunt Jane" as another of Tijuana's potential definitions. Deriving from the Spanish title Tía Juana, "Aunt Jane" was believed to be the name of a person who provided food and lodging to those who travelled to Tijuana. While "Aunt Jane's" existence has never been confirmed, her story could inspire your Tijuana to seek out people who make them feel comfortable, cared for, and truly at home.
