Tolong jelaskan mengenai Asal mula nama dari Everglades

Catatan tertulis pertama mengenai Everglades adalah peta Spanyol yang dibuat oleh kartografer yang belum pernah melihat langsung wilayah itu. Mereka menamakan wilayah yang belum dikenal di antara Teluk dan Pantai Atlantik di Florida Laguna del Espíritu Santo ("Danau Roh Kudus"). Wilayah tersebut muncul di peta selama berpuluh-puluh tahun tanpa pernah dieksplorasi.

Kartografer Inggris John Gerard de Brahm, yang memetakan pantai Florida pada 1773, menyebut wilayah tersebut "River Glades". Marjory Stoneman Douglas dan ahli bahasa Wallace McMullen mengusulkan pada kartografer itu mengganti kata "River" menjadi "Ever". Nama "Everglades" pertama kali muncul di peta pada 1823, meskipun nama itu juga dieja sebagai "Ever Glades" hingga akhir 1851.
