There are several theories about the origin of the name. The most widely-accepted one states that it comes from [[Basque language|Basque]] and derives it from ''arantza'' ("[[Crataegus|hawthorn]]" in English). Another theory, attributed to Padre [[Martín Sarmiento]], a Benedictine scholar who lived about a century after the founder of Aranjuez, [[Philip II of Spain]], claims the origin to be from [[Latin]] ''Ara Jovis'' or ''Ara Iovia'', which means the [[altar]] of the Roman god [[Jupiter (mythology)|Jupiter]]. However the pre-Roman derivation is generally preferred.
