覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
地名なので、通常は先頭を大文字にして Havana と書きます。キューバの首都で北岸に位置する都市、と地図上の位置まで結び付けましょう。in Havana、the history of Havana、a flight to Havana のように、都市名に使う前置詞や旅行・歴史の語との組み合わせで覚えると実用的です。
Remember Havana as a city name, so write it with a capital H. Anchor it to three facts from typical contexts: it is Cuba’s capital, it lies on the northern coast, and it often appears as a destination. Useful patterns include “in Havana,” “the history of Havana,” and “a flight to Havana.” Linking the spelling to a map and to these common combinations is more reliable than treating it as an ordinary countable noun. The phrase “Havana cigar” can also reinforce its strong association with Cuba.

havana の語源・成り立ち Etymology
キューバの首都名。スペイン語La Habanaは、先住民タイノ族の首長ハバグアネクス(Habaguanex)の名に由来するとされる。タイノ語で「大きな場所」を意味する説もある。関連語: Habano(ハバナ産葉巻)。
The English name Havana comes through Spanish La Habana. The Spanish place name is commonly associated with Habaguanex, the name of an Indigenous Taíno chief connected with the region. Other interpretations of the Indigenous source have also been proposed, so its exact original analysis is not fully certain. English generally drops the Spanish article La and uses Havana, while Spanish retains Habana in the city’s name.
