The California Motto is composed of four Latin words: 'Eureka' (6 letters), meaning 'I have found it!', 'ASTRA' (5 letters), meaning 'STARS', 'Esto' (4 letters), meaning 'be it so', and 'ORO' (3 letters), meaning 'GOLD'. Together, these words form the phrase 'Eureka, ASTRA, Esto, ORO', which translates to 'I have found it, STARS, be it so, GOLD'. This motto was adopted by the state of California in 1968 and is a reminder of the state's rich history of GOLD mining.
