The spelling is a variant of "la joya" -- which translates into "the jewel". This has been attributed to early Mexican settlers that discovered the cove and beaches during the mid-1800's.

The La Jolla area was known as “La Jolla Park” at least as early as 1886.
The origin of the name is obscure. Some say it is a corruption of “ahoy”, called out by sailors seeking the attention of people on the shore. Promoters of La Jolla claim it is from the Spanish “la joya”, meaning the jewel.
A more likely though less glamorous theory is that “La Jolla” is a corruption of the Native American word “Woholle”, meaning hole in the mountain, referring to the caves in the north-facing cliffs next to La Jolla Cove Park.
