There are 23 schools in the USA with the word medina in the name.

The word "medina" is commonly found in U.S. public school names due to its historical and geographic significance, particularly as the name of towns and cities established during the westward expansion of the United States. Many American communities named themselves "Medina" after the holy city in Saudi Arabia, reflecting a 19th-century trend of borrowing names with cultural or historical resonance from other parts of the world. This naming tradition often symbolized a desire for cultural sophistication or a connection to broader historical narratives. As a result, schools in these towns naturally adopted the name "Medina" to reflect their local identity and heritage. The use of "medina" in school names today serves as a reminder of the town's origins and its place in the larger story of American settlement and community development.
