===Name and seal===
The formal name of the state is "Estado Libre y Soberano de Colima" (Free and Sovereign State of Colima). The state is named after the [[Colima City|capital city of Colima]]. This name is most likely derived from a [[Nahuatl]] phrase "coliman", but the original meaning is in doubt with two most accepted versions. One interpretation means "place in the hand of the grandfather" with "grandfather" possibly referring to the volcano. The other interpretation is "place in the hands of the ancestors".<ref name="conocolima">{{cite web |url=http://www.visitacolima.com.mx/Colima/colima.html |title=Conociendo Colima |publisher=Secretaria de Turismo de Colima |location=Colima, Mexico |language=es |trans-title=Getting to know Colima |access-date=July 29, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120328083949/http://www.visitacolima.com.mx/Colima/colima.html |archive-date=March 28, 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name="nomenclatura">{{cite web |url=http://www.inafed.gob.mx/work/templates/enciclo/Colima/ |title=Nomenclatura |year=2005 |work=Enciclopedia de los Municipios de México Colima |publisher=Instituto Nacional para el Federalismo y el Desarrollo Municipal and Gobierno del Estado de Colima |location=Mexico |language=es |trans-title=Nomenclature |access-date=July 29, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120327111835/http://www.inafed.gob.mx/work/templates/enciclo/Colima/ |archive-date=March 27, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> A third interpretation is based on an interpretation of Colima's glyph as it appears in the [[Nomina codex|Nomina]] and [[Codex Mendoza|Mendocino]] codices, which has a bent arm with the hand turned and water on the shoulder. This glyph is still used in the state's seal. This interpretation would then be "place where the waters bend".<ref name="nomenclatura"/>
