No one knows where the name Andalusia originated. However, since Ponce de Leon and DeSoto were early explorers of this area; it is felt that they were responsible for the Spanish influence. It is assumed that since Spain has an Andalusia Province, that this City was named Andalusia because of this influence.

The word, Andalusia, is a combination of two Spanish words. Ande, meaning "to walk", and Lutier, which means "easy". So Andalusia means "to walk easy" or a place where being is most comfortable and easy.
