La Habra

Where it comes from

Borrowed from the definite form of Spanish abra (“glade, inlet”), itself a borrowing from French havre. Doublet of haven. The initial "silent" h- is unetymological, likely interpreted from other Spanish words and toponyms common to the American Southwest (e.g., hasta, hombre, etc.). Fully cognate with French Le Havre, a city in Normandy.

proper noun

A city in Orange County, California, United States.
