One possible origin of palm in the place name comes from early Spanish explorers who referred to the area as La Palma de la Mano de Dios or "The Palm of God's hand".[27] The earliest use of the name "Palm Springs" is from United States Topographical Engineers who used the term in 1853 maps.[28] According to William Bright, when the word "palm" appears in Californian place names, it usually refers to the native California fan palm, Washingtonia filifera, which is abundant in the Palm Springs area.[29] Other early names were "Palmetto Spring" and "Big Palm Springs".[30]
