Etymology

From Aravaipa/Arivaipa, likely derived from Pima or Apache languages; the exact etymology is debated among linguists, though it refers to a specific geographical and cultural region in southeastern Arizona.

Kelly Says

The Aravaipa region is one of Arizona's most remote and beautiful canyons, home to the Aravaipa Apache—the name itself is a connection point between Native American languages and colonial Spanish/English place naming.
