Where did the names originate?
Mojave was named after the Mojave desert. This desert covers about 35,000 km² of the United states, covering parts of Southern California, Utah, Nevada and Arizona. It receives less than 150mm of rain anually. Impressive.
Sequoia received its name from the Sequoia tree, a genus of the cypress family. It is generally considered the tallest tree in the world, growing up to 112 meters in height, while sometimes having a 7m diameter at the base. Even more impressive.
Qetesh was the name of the goddess of sex in Egyptian mythology. She was depicted as a naked women standing on a lion, carrying the moon on her head. Now it just doesn't get more impressive than that.
