Abstract
For decades numerous theories have surrounded the source of the name “Orlando.” While some of these have enjoyed various levels of acceptance throughout the community, none have ever been proven. In this podcast, we examine this intriguing element of Orlando’s history by speaking with various historians and experts who have written about the subject as well as a descendant of one of the area’s first settlers. By comparing these different points of view, it is hoped that you as a listener can better understand how these legends have taken root within the community, and perhaps even decide for yourself which you find most convincing.
