the earliest instance of the name "tampa", in the form "tanpa", appears in the memoirs of hernando de escalante fontaneda, who spent 17 years as a captive of the calusa and traveled through much of peninsular florida. he described tanpa as an important calusa town to the north of the calusa domain, possibly under another chief. archaeologist jerald milanich places the town of tanpa at the mouth of charlotte harbor. the entrances to tampa bay and charlotte harbor are obscured by barrier islands, and their locations, and the names applied to them, were a source of confusion to explorers, surveyors and map-makers from the 16th century though the 18th century. "bahía tampa" and "bahía de espíritu santo" were each used, at one time or another, for the modern tampa bay and charlotte harbor. tampa bay was labeled "bahía de espíritu santo" (bay of the holy spirit) in the earliest spanish maps of florida, but became known as "bahía tampa" (tampa bay) as early as 1695. "b. tampa", corresponding to tampa bay, appeared on a british map of 1705, with "carlos bay" for charlotte harbor to the south, while a 1748 british map had "b. del spirito santo" for tampa bay, and, again, "carlos bay" to the south. a spanish map of 1757 renamed tampa bay as "san fernando". as late as 1774, bernard romans called tampa bay "bay of espiritu santo", with "tampa bay" restricted to the northwest arm (what is now old tampa bay), and the northeast arm named "hillsborough bay". the name may have come from the calusa language, or possibly, the timucua language. some scholars have compared "tampa" to "itimpi", which means "close to or nearby" in the creek language, but its meaning is not known.
