What is Baton Rouge Spanish for?

Red Stick The red stick was used to mark land boundaries. When the Spanish found the red stick they decided to name it Baton Rouge. Ok, I'll try once more...neither "baton" nor "rouge" is a Spanish word, both are French with "baton" translating to "stick" and "rouge" translating to "red", so "stick red", or in English "red stick". The city of Baton Rouge is in the highly Cajun area of Louisianna. The Cajun people are of French immigrant descent, therefore French names and words are common in the area. This much is fact. The following might be urban legend but I believe it to be fact: "Baton rouge" is, or at least was at one time, used by the Cajuns and perhaps by the French, to mean lipstick. It is possible that Baton Rouge got its name from the fact that it is on the Mississippi River and, in its early days at least (if not still), was a den of saloons, riverboats, gambling, sin and, of course, painted ladies...hence "Lipstick", or in the popular French jargon of the day (and of the area), "Baton Rouge".
