Turrialba Volcano is named after its canton Turrialba in Costa Rica’s Cartago Province. There is no clear consensus on the origin of the name Turrialba but historians disagree with attempts to attribute the name to the patronym Torrealba (from Aragon in Spain) or from the Latin Turris alba (white tower).
