I wonder why they called it a Palm Desert, it doesn't correspond to the two meanings of the word palm.

Thanks haritakurda, for the wondering question! Palm Desert, One possible origin of palm in the place name comes from early Spanish explorers who referred to the area as “La Palma de la Mano de Dios” or "The Palm of God's hand". The earliest use of the name "Palm Springs" is from United States Topographical Engineers who used the term in 1853 maps. And if you get here, you will see rows of Palms everywhere, and the desert sandy places as well!
