Well, if you typed it, you should know it but let me tell you a bit about the name.
The name "Yosemite" means literally "among them are killers" or "there are killers among them" and is a corrupted form of an American Indian word used to describe the Ahwahneechee people.

American miner L.H. Bunnell, after attacking the tribe, decided to give the valley the name "Yosemite" as (somehow) an "American" name.
