La Habra

Question

I have a question as to the meaning of the word La Habra, as in La Habra, CA.
My daughter is going to be married and live in La Habra, CA soon and I was wondering what the meaning is? I know with an accent over the last vowel "a" or habrá, that it refers to the future form of the verb "will be", but in the form La Habra I don't know the meaning as written.

Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Hi Dunia,
I think you are probably correct concerning the non-meaning of the word being that there does not seem to be an actual definition. I appreciate your response.

Answer 2

"La Habra," which in Spanish means "pass through the hills"

Answer 3

I was told it's Basque, that Basque farmers planted the avocodo trees in the hills.

Answer 4

Thank you Heidita for your help and lead on the history of La Habra, CA. I appreciate it.

Answer 5

Nouns sometimes don't have a meaning, I think this is the case.

Answer 6

There is no meaning to it as far as I can see. look at this page, the information is quite extensive but nothing about the name.
