Talk:La Verne, California

Origin of Name

I changed the wording of the last sentence of the first paragraph, which mentioned that the name "La Verne" was chosen based on an incorrect assumption about French. I don't know enough French, or enough about the history of La Verne, to verify this, but the source I found does not mention it. I removed my fact tag, since the source I found seems to contain most of what's in the first paragraph, or seemed to when I glanced over it, anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VagueHorizon (talk • contribs) 08:04, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I corrected the information about the French origins of the name. The City of La Verne site says that "La Verne" is "a French term meaning 'growing green' or 'spring-like.' This is demonstrably incorrect, at least as far as the wording goes. Structurally, "La Verne" would be a noun, not an adjective, and it doesn't mean "green" or "spring-like." There is however an archaic word for the alder tree in french, le vergne, and if the Bixby sisters thought they were naming their area something French-ish, this seems the likely source. (c.f. the entry for Vergne in the French Wikipedia and verne in the French Wiktionary. --Scelerat (talk) 01:31, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians!

I've added a bit of pop culture to the La Verne page which is that actor Christian Slater served 90 days in the La Verne jail in 1998 for domestic assault — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brookeaguirreasu (talk • contribs) 21:35, 29 April 2022 (UTC)
