Province British Columbia where does the Columbia come from?
"Columbia" is the female personification of the New World, after Christopher Columbus, its generally credited discoverer.1 It is similar in concept to Britannia, the female image of Britain. The Statue of Liberty is in fact a statue of Columbia. So "British Columbia" actually means "British North America," although logically it would have made more sense to apply this name to the whole of Canada.1Columbus actually thought he had landed in India, hence the name "West Indies" for the Caribbean islands, and the term "Indians" for the native Americans. His name is also the origin of "District of Columbia" in Washington, D.C. and the Latin American country of Colombia.
