    I remember stopping through there, once. I recall instantly pissing off one of the locals for pronouncing the name correctly.

        It mostly comes down to how the double L is pronounced. Locals pronounce it like the double L in “yellow”.

        The Spanish word for yellow is pronounced with its double L as a sound closer to a Y. Like the double L in “tortilla.”
