Subazama, California
Subazama is a former Salinan settlement in Monterey County, California.[1][2] Its precise location is unknown.[1] It was within 20 miles of Mission San Antonio de Padua.[3] The 'z' is pronounced more like a 'tr' (ṭ), and the last half of the name is probably related to the word for 'my house' or village.[3]
