Sure, it is "Spanish sounding". You might be interested to know that, at times, Mexico include all of California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah. I've even seen a map that included areas up to Montanna.
Also, Spaniards were there too....before it was part of Mexico..well before these places became part of the US. San Francisco is a Spanish (from Spain) name, not Mexican.
