Definition: The word "Arizona" comes from the Choctaw language, meaning "Great River." It's a state in northwestern Mexico, bordered by the United States to the east and west, and the Gulf of California to the south. In the Bible, it refers to an ancient people who lived along the Arizona River. The term is also used metaphorically (like referring to the land or its inhabitants) and means "the one who serves God." The exact meaning may vary between different translations, but the basic idea is that the state was known for its hospitality and religious tolerance.
