Meaning and background
The story behind Quito
Quito is the geographical name of Ecuador’s capital. Merriam-Webster locates the city on a fertile plateau just south of the Equator and records a pronunciation beginning with a kee sound. That supplies a specific place association for a travel or heritage-inspired pet name. The dictionary entry does not give the city-name’s older linguistic derivation, so a literal personal-name translation should not be invented from the modern Spanish-looking spelling.
