People who visit the United States sometimes hope to know how the states got their names. Some of the most interesting names came from American Indian languages. For example, Illinois was named for the Indians who used to live in that part of the country. In their language, Illinois means "brave men". Connecticut means "at the long river-mouth" in the language of the Indians who used to live there.
Twenty-five of the states have Indian names, but other names were taken from different languages. Georgian and Pennsylvania have names which were taken from the Latin language. Florida and Colorado were named for places in England. The two newest states have names which did not come from any of those languages. Hawaii got its name from a word in the Hawaiian language which means "homeland". Alaska was named by the Russians, from whom Alaska was bought in 1867.
