For two reasons.
It got its name from a Swedish farmer who lived there, named Jonas Bronck.
As the Bronx at that time was nearly completely uninhabited except for Jonas Bron&ck and his family and his livestock, visitors who went there would say, "We're going to the Bronck's farm" like you would say, "We're going to the Mulligan's house."
Later the name was shortened to the Bronx instead of the Bronck's. 
Also, the Bronx is the only borough which has a river running through it.
Since you usually put the word "the" before a river's name -- like, the Hudson River, the Harlem River, the East River -- people called it "the Bronx" because it was where "the Bronx River" was.

If the disks are herniated (bulging is another term) the specific nerves causing your problems ARE being pinched/compressed by the disks - that's what happens when you herni&ate a disk. The diagnosis you describe is disk herniations between the C3/C4/C5/C6 vertebrae. I've had flattened disks between C5/6/7, with a resulting fusion operation to correct it as well. In my case I had no choice as my left arm was becoming paralyzed. I've also had 2 other major spinal surgeries.
You should already have received some kind of treatment plan, likely Flexeril, and anti-inflammatory and / or a strong painkiller like Percocet or Vicodin. It's important that you DO NOT LIFT anything over a couple of pounds. I'm guessing that this happened as either a whiplash injury or something similar.
If the problem is already causing tingling and numbness in your fingers you need to report that immediately to your doctor. If you're not already seeing a Neurosurgeon, you should be. Orthopedists are useless in spine and disk problems as they understand the bone aspects, but not the neurological complexities. A general doctor just doesn't have the expertise required to treat this.
The reason you need to report it is that if you're having tingling/numbness in your fingers (especially if it's creeping its way from the tips to the knuckles) the disk inflammation isn't getting any better and the pressure is enough that it's starting to cut off the nerve impulses to your hand. Unless you get it looked at and treated, you could wind up with long term nerve damage or worse. I've already faced this and been through it, aside from dealing with these problems myself for over 20 years. In my case, within 2 weeks of the initial pain my left arm was almost paralyzed, and my fingers were numb from the fingertips to the first knuckle. The fusion I had included a bone graft from my right pelvic area as well as a plate. It is not something to take lightly. If your doctor is not treating it as a serious issue, you need to get another one fast. I cannot stress the importance of getting the disk pressure relieved off of the nerve in question, likely the C5/C6 disk.
Also, do not do any activity requiring any lifting, arm strength, etc., and don't drive if you can avoid it. If you're not taking any anti-inflammatory drugs (which I'd be shocked if you weren't) you need to start. Message me and let me know what meds they have you on so far.
I had this category started because this is the one area in my life in which I've dealt with for many years, and I've survived bad doctors, diagnoses, hospital mistakes, pain on scales you can't imagine (even now), and continuing spinal damage and severe pain. Hopefully I can help you and others avoid the bad things that I've been through. if you have specific questions don't hesitate to PM me.
2 sites you need to look at:
American Pain Foundation - /8thkgm
Spine Universe - /ysxy5l
If you eventually require surgery, let me know as there are certain decisions you'll face where the wrong choice can have consequences down the road.

The Bronck's
 The Bronx was named after Jonas Bronck, who was the first European settler.
 Jonas Jonson Bronck (), also known as Jonas& Jonasson Bronk or Jonas Joanssen Bronck, was a Swedish immigrant to North America after whom the New York City borough of the Bronx was named. 
 Bronck was born in the small village of Komstad, Norra Ljunga socken, outside S?vsj? in the Swedish province of Sm?land, some time around the year 1600. Rather than take over his family's farm, he became a sailor, and it is known that he traveled to Japan and India. He married his wife, Teuntje Joriaens, on July 6, 1638, in the Nieuwe Kerk ('New Church'), Amsterdam. He and his wife subsequently decided to emigrate to North America. 
 In 1639 he acquired a piece of land located across the Harlem River from the island of Manhattan. The farm came to be known as "Bronck's land" or simply "Bronck's," from which eventually evolved the modern name of "the Bronx."

If you are planning to go with a group of ten or more, ask about the Total Experience ticket. This includes zoo admission and unlimited access to special rides and family attractions that are offered.

One of the most special attractions for kids that New York has to offer happens in October. It is the Bronx Zoo's Halloween program known as "Boo at the Zoo." The event gives &kids, who are all decked out in their Halloween costumes, a chance to enjoy some of the creepier residents of the zoo. In fact, during every weekend in October, kids get into the Bronx Zoo for free if they are wearing their costumes (as long as they are accompanied by their parents). The experience of visiting the zoo is a magical one for kids. And parents will have lot of fun seeing all the kids dressed up in their Halloween costumes.The Bronx Zoo's haunted house is a bit different than what you might expect. Once owned by Dr Benton Broom, his ghost now hangs around the place, not aiming to scare children but to make everyone aware of the dangers threatening our still-existing species, and also educating everyone about the animals and habitats we have already lost. It is more like a trip through the lab of a mad genius than a conventional haunted house and your kids will love it.One of the most amusing experiences in the Bronx Zoo Halloween program is the Children's Theater program. Here the famous puppeteer Noel MacNeal brings to life the story of three animal tricksters. As with most of the other programs, except for the Hayride, the program is part of the admission.Some of the more instructive and useful programs at the Zoo are the Creature Chats. Here experts handle some of the creepier animals and talk to the children about the myths surrounding them. It is an excellent opportunity for some kids to get over their phobias and helps to prevent others from developing unreasonable fears in the first place.One of the most traditional Halloween activities is carving pumpkins. And at the Bronx Zoo they have really taken that to the next level. For "Boo at the Zoo" they bring in some of the best pumpkin carving artists in New York. These artists carve pumpkins right on the spot. Their designs include some of the creepiest residents of the zoo and famous animal characters of the cartoon world.As long as they are wearing their Halloween costumes, children get in free at "Boo at the Zoo" and as a result of that there is a costume parade in which they can participate. The Zoo personnel also join in the fun and parents are encouraged to wear costumes and participate, too.The only bad thing about Halloween is that it lasts for just one day. Luckily, at the Bronx Zoo, Halloween lasts for almost a month. Every weekend in October, your child can get into the zoo for free, as long as he or she is wearing a Halloween costume. And the fun doesn't end with the costumes because the Bronx Zoo Halloween program offers several special programs for children and their parents as part of Boo at the Zoo.The Bronx Zoo is the flagship urban wildlife park of The Wildlife Conservation Society.
