Pacifica
California coastal city
Pacifica is a name given to places, companies, and concepts evoking the Pacific Ocean or peaceful qualities—from the Latin *pax* (peace).
A coastal city south of San Francisco bears the name, as do various resorts, radio networks, and brands.
The word suggests calm, ocean air, and West Coast sensibility: We spent the weekend in Pacifica. (Lowercase pacifica appears in scientific names for Pacific-region species.)
