Reddish Blonde Girl In A Spa

In 16th century England, the old Roman ideas medicinal bathing were revived at towns like Bath, and in 1571 William Slingsby who had been to the Belgian town (which he called Spaw) discovered a chalybeate spring in Yorkshire. He built an enclosed well at what became known as Harrogate, the first resort in England for drinking medicinal waters, then in 1596 Dr Timothy Bright called the resort The English Spaw, beginning the use the word Spa as a generic description.
It is commonly claimed, in a commercial context, that the word is an acronym various Latin phrases such as "Salus Per Aquam” or "Sanitas Per Aquam" meaning "health through water". This is very unlikely: the derivation doesn't appear before the early 21st century and is probably a "backronym" as there is no evidence acronyms passing into the language before the 20th century; nor does it match the known Roman name for the location.
