Could you elaborate on the historical moniker that Bogotá once bore? I'm particularly interested in understanding the origins and significance of its former name. Did it reflect a particular cultural or geographical aspect of the city? How did the name evolve over time, and what led to its ultimate replacement? I'm fascinated by the depth of cultural heritage and linguistic nuances that often accompany such changes in place names, and Bogotá's past moniker undoubtedly holds a fascinating story within it.
