Literally, the name Ceará means "sings the jandaia".[3] Accordin tae José de Alencar, ane o the maist important writers o Brazil an an authority in Tupi Guaraní, Ceará means turquoise or green watters. Thare are theories that the state name wad derive frae Siriará an aw, a reference tae the crabs frae the seashore.
The state is best kent for its extensive coastline, wi 600 kilometer (370 mi) o sand. Thare are muntains an valleys producin tropical fruits an aw. Tae the sooth, on the mairch o Paraíba, Pernambuco an Piauí, is the Naitional Forest o Araripe.
