No mention of the first Spanish exploration of what is now the California coast in 1542-43 by Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo. Cabrillo may have made it as far north as Oregon. Cabrillo died of an injury but the rest of the expedition made it back to Mexico. Viscaino later replaced Cabrillo's names with the ones which are used now.

When I was a college student I knew a Mexican-American student whose surname was Chino. Perhaps he was descended from one of those Asians.
