The mexicans call the desert wind satans wind, satan in Spanish is santanas. Slightly Anglicized, the word becomes santana. There is a city in Orange County named Santa Ana (Saint Anne). Its not unusual for the winds to be mistakenly called Santa Ana winds in the newspapers and on the news broadcasts.

I doubt Saint Anne appreciates satans wind being called by her name.

PS: Spain being very Catholic, many counties of Spanish influence have cities and places named for saints, Santa is a female saint, San is a male saint.

San Francisco is Saint Francis, San Juan is Saint John, San Pedro is Saint Peter, San Jose is Saint Joseph, Santa Maria is Saint Mary, Santa Barbara is Saint Barbara, etc, etc
