Washington, D.C., is the capital city of the United States of America. "D.C." stands for the District of Columbia, the federal district containing the city of Washington. The city is named after George Washington, military leader of the American Revolution and the first President of the United States.

It stands for "District of Columbia", a more or less diamond-shaped area of about 63 square miles on the eastern bank of the Potomac river that doesn't belong to any state. It's between the states of Maryland (to the east) and Virginia (to the west). In the United States, there are (, probably among others,) Washington, D.C., and Washington State.

District of Columbia
it cannot be confused after the comic name
If you call it Washington, but not D.C., you're refer to Pacific Northwest. But with D.C., you're at President's house.
