  2. "Bolsa" is Spanish for "Bag".
    I sometimes tell people that "Bolsa Chica" means "Bag Lady".

  3. Well, "Bolsa Chica" means actually "Little Bag" or "Small Bag". In spanish, "chica" doesn´t mean just "girl" or "chico" means "boy", but small.

  4. Kakkoi you are absolutely correct. I have been told that bolsa chica means little bag before, and each time I try to reconcile the accurately translated name with the wetland area in southern California I catch myself wondering: "a little bag of what"?
