California place names : the origin and etymology of current geographical names, 4th ed. by Erwin Gustave Gudde
A superb feat of lexicography, and beautifully produced as well -- one of the few expensive books I haven't been able to resist buying at full price when I saw it in a bookstore (the excellent Chaucer's, in Santa Barbara). Incidentally, Gudde is pronounced "Goody."
