I always thought it was Plan 0.BRWombat wrote:It's still a more dignified name origin history than my city's. The city of Plano, Texas, got it's name over a hundred years ago when the new settlement held a contest to pick the name. The winner, a teenage boy, submitted "Plano" because he thought it was Spanish for "plain."
He just lucked out that he stumbled on the Spanish for "flat," which was close enough that they kept it.
