Botafogo
Botafogo (local/standard (:bɔtaˈfoɡu) alternative Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation: (:botɐˈfoɡu)) is a beachfront neighborhood (''bairro'') in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is a mostly upper middle class and small commerce community, and is located between the hills of Mundo Novo, Dona Marta (which separates it from Laranjeiras) and São João (which separates it from Copacabana).
== Etymology ==
Botafogo was named after João Pereira de Sousa Botafogo, who was responsible for the galleon Botafogo's artillery, so he included the ship’s name in his family name. When he went to live in Brazil, the Portuguese Crown granted him the land known today as Botafogo. The name literally means "set it on fire" (a reference to the Botafogo galleon's artillery power).〔http://martin.romano.org/ps05/ps05_394.htm〕 In the mid-19th century, English language speakers also called it Boto Fogo.
