Baja California was first named California by Hernando de Alarcón (at least
, this is the earliest record of the name being used) when he verified its
existence in 1540. He called it California after the fictional Island of
California created by Garci Rodríguez de Montalvo in his romance Las Sergas
de Esplandián. This fictional island was described by de Montalvo as being
east of Asia.
In Las Sergas de Esplandián, California takes its name from its ruler,
Queen Calafia. It is widely thought that Calafia was taken from the Spanish
califa, which derived from the Latin calipha, taken from the Arabic khalīf
.

Las Serges de Esplandian was the first to come up with a fictional island of
California, that was populated by black Amazons. It is believed that Queen
Calafia who ruled over the island, which was named after her, was a pagan,
who trains an army of Amazons, that will fight for the Muslims against the
Christians during the siege of Constantinople.
Calafia is believed to have been derived from the Arabic word Khalifa,
meaning religious leader, also called as Caliph in English. In the novel,
she is captured by the Christians and converted to Christianity.
