The origin of the word “Napa” is disputed.

The word napa is of Native American derivation and has been variously translated as “grizzly bear,” “house,” “motherland” or “fish.” Of the many explanations of the names’s origin, the most plausible seems to be that it is derived from the Patwin word napo meaning house.

Further adding confusion, Napa was originally spelled with two P’s: Nappa. There are maps and deeds dating back to the mid-1850’s bearing this spelling. Shortly thereafter the spelling changed to “Napa” as it’s known today; there reasons for this are unclear.

At the time of the first recorded exploration into Napa Valley in 1823, the majority of the inhabitants consisted of Native American Indians.
