An affluent city, Cupertino is the 11th wealthiest city with a population over 50,000 in the United States. The population was 58,302 at the 2010 census.〔(US Census 2000 Data for Cupertino, CA )''census.gov, Retrieved July 10, 2007''〕 Forbes ranked it as one of the most educated small towns. It is known as the home of Apple Inc.'s corporate headquarters. Cupertino is home to a diverse population, and 63 percent of the city's population was of Asian ancestry in 2010. Money's Best Places to Live, ''America's best small towns'', ranked Cupertino as #27 in 2012, the second highest in California. It was also named as the seventh "happiest" suburb in the United States, ranking highly in the categories of income, safety, marriage, and education. ==Toponym== Cupertino was named after ''Arroyo'' San José de Cupertino (now Stevens Creek). The creek had been named by Spanish explorer Juan Bautista de Anza's cartographer, who named it after Saint Joseph of Cupertino. (Saint Joseph was born Giuseppe Maria Desa, and later known as Giuseppe da Copertino.) Cupertino was named after the town of Copertino in the Apulia region of Italy. The name Cupertino first became widely used when John T. Doyle, a San Francisco lawyer and historian, named his winery on McClellan Road "Cupertino". After the turn of the 20th century, Cupertino displaced the former name for the region, which was “West Side”. Although the meaning of “Copertino” is uncertain, it is likely a compound word meaning “little (covered) shelter.” The -ino suffix in Italian words indicates “small” or “little,” while “coprire” in Italian means “to cover," and “coperto” is derived from the Latin “coopertus,” which means “covered shelter.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cupertino, California」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
