I'm not sure what type of palm tree this is. This is taken in Arizona. I think it is a canary island date palm.

It looks more like some type of date palm than pindo. Date palms are very common in Arizona. There are a large number of varieties of date palm.– Debbie M.Jan 22, 2016 at 19:46

It looks like Phoenix canariensis to me, which is, indeed, commonly known as Canary Island Date Palm, although it doesn't produce dates - the one that does is Phoenix dactylifera. It does produce drupes, the flesh of which is edible, but thin and not worth eating.

I am pretty sure that's a sable Palm which has a lot of AKAs such as cabbage Palm.
Sabal palmetto is one scientific name and also like the common name has many taxonomic synonyms.
