He meaʻike Spania, akā,ʻaʻoleʻo ka mea āu e noʻonoʻo ai.
ʻO ka hapanui o nā poʻe iʻike i ka moʻolelo o San Diego, eʻae aku iā lākouʻo Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo ke kanaka Pelekane mua e kau ana ma ka'āina San Diego i ka makahiki 1542, i konaʻikeʻana i ka mea i kēia manawaʻo San Diego Bay. A he nui nā mea e manaʻoʻiaʻo iaʻo Cabrillo nāna i kapa i kēia'āina houʻo "San Diego."
Ināʻaʻoleʻo Cabrillo, he nui ka poʻe e manaʻo pahaʻo ka feria kaulanaʻo Franciscan,ʻo Junipero Serra, ka mea i kapaʻia ka inoaʻo ka colony San Diego i ka wā i hoʻokumuʻo ia i kaʻoihana mua o Kaleponiʻo Francis i ka makahiki 1769.
Ināʻoe i manaʻoʻo Cabrillo aʻo Serra paha, ua hewaʻoe.
ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo,ʻo kēia wahi hou loa (ʻo ia, he mea hou i nā Europa ...ʻo nāʻAmelikaʻAi MokuʻAi ma kahi a pau) ua kapaʻia e kekahi mea'ānanā Paniolo'ē aʻe i hele mai ma kahi o 60 makahiki ma hope o Carbillo.
Wahi a ka San Diego Historical Society, ua hōʻeaʻo Sebastian Vizcaino i San Diego i Nowemapa 1602 ma hope o ka holoʻana mai Acapulco mai Mei. Ua laweʻo ia i kona mau'auwaʻa iʻeono malama e hiki ai i ke kai kūʻonoʻo San Diego.
ʻO San Diego ka inoa o ka haeʻo Vizcaino (ʻehā kona mau moku, akāʻekolu wale nō i hoʻoiliʻia i San Diego). Ua haʻiʻo ia i kahi i kapaʻiaʻo San Diego, no ka mahaloʻana i kāna moku a no kaʻahaʻaina o San Diego de Alcala (he haole Pelekane) i hanaʻia ma ka lā 12 o Nowemapa.
A ua hoʻomauʻia ka inoa ma hope mai. Inā paha he moku mokuʻo Vizcaino kekahi o kona mau moku'ē aʻe,ʻo ia ka Santo Tomas, malia paha e noho ana kāua a ke kipa maikaʻi i Santo Tomas ma kahi o San Diego!
