[Media Republic = Choi Jeong-cheol's miscellaneous learnings] The United States is a federation made up of 50 states and 1 special district. One District refers to Washington, D.C., which is buried in the middle of the District of Maryland, and its correct name is the District of Columbia, Washington.
'Washington Columbia' is named after Washington, the first president of the United States, and Columbus, who discovered the continent. New York State is named after York in England. As such, the names of states in the United States are not only derived from historical figures and names from mainland Europe, but also have the characteristic that half of the names of 25 states are derived from indigenous peoples.

Since the natives were called Indians due to Columbus's misunderstanding, today they are called 'Native Americans'.

Recently, interesting news from the United States has been circulated around the world. Among the old Native American tribes of about 600, there was a very valiant Sioux. At the end of the 19th century, the US government army was destroyed by a certain valiant warrior. Tatanka Iotake, who the government army called the Sitting Bull (Sitting Bull), was the brave man.
Having led the Lakoda branch of the Sioux tribe, he resolutely rejected the United States government's relocation order in 1876 and led a combined Sioux and Shaine unit of 2,000 men in General Custer's 7th Cavalry at Little Bighorn, Montana. The bravery of the Sioux tribe was widely publicized by winning a landslide victory over a hundred men.
Not long ago, a man named Ernie Lapentra appeared and confirmed that he was the great-grandson by a DNA test of Tatanka Iotake's hair. Having heard of the descendants of an old Native American hero, let me introduce the story of the names of the 25 states in question.

The word Alabama is derived from the Choctaw word Alba Aya Mule, which means 'to open' or 'harvest from the ground or thickets'. Oklahoma is also derived from the Choctaw word Okla Humma, which means 'Red people'.

At first, Arkansas used the name of the Sioux tribe as the state's name, but the name of the Kaw tribe, which was close to the Sio tribe, was used as the etymology and transformed into Arkansas. it means that Kansas is a Sioux language and has the same meaning as Arkansas. The fact that Arkansas and Kansas are east to west shows that these two regions were once Sioux territories.
South Dakota is derived from the Sioux word Dakoda, which means 'friend' or 'allied collaborator'. North Dakota is so-called because it is located north of South Dakota. Judging from the fact that the name of the Dakoda tribe is given in the language of the Sioux tribe, I think that the Sioux tribe must have already displayed great power even before their hero, Tatanka Iotake.
Connecticut is a term derived from Quinnitukuut, a Mohican word that means 'long river'. Idaho comes from the Shochonu language Ee Dah How, meaning 'dawn'.
Kentucky is derived from the Iroquois word 'Ken Tah Teh', which means 'land of tomorrow'. A wonderful race that lived with a blueprint for future abundance. Massachusetts is named after the Massachusetts who once lived there. It means 'a place with a big hill'.
Michigan comes from Mica Gama of the Chippewa people, and means 'great lake' or 'big water'. Mississippi is also derived from the Chippewa horse. The original language is Mici Sibi, which means 'great water' or 'big river'.
Wisconsin is said to have been derived from the horse of the Ojibwa tribe, a branch of the Chippewa tribe. Although the Chipewa were based in the area bordering Canada, the spatial disconnection between Miami and the North could be explained by the forced migration, as indigenous peoples were often forcibly relocated by the US government.
Illinois is derived from Illniwek of the Algonquian tribe, which means 'a race of superior men'. Missouri also used the Algonquian language. It means 'muddy', 'village of the great canoe'. Wyoming is also Algonquian. In Mache Weam Ing, it means 'a vast plain'.

Tennessee is named after the Cherokee village of Tenassee. There is a legendary song "Indian Reservation" from the 1970s sung by the American band Raiders. The lyrics of the song contain the sorrows of the Cherokee people, who have been robbed of their land by whites and have lived in a protected area. There are still 326 Indian reservations in the United States. Looking at it like that, it is only doubtful whether the United States is truly a developed country.
There is a theory that Texas comes from the Spanish word Tejas (roof) that came from Mexico, but it should be considered that it originated from the language of one branch of the Sioux tribe, which means the Sioux word dakoda, that is, 'friend' or Because it is a 'collaborator in an alliance'.

It is enviable that the humanities are reflected in the names of 25 states in the United States. We just say that we surround the capital Hanyang, Gyeonggi-do, Gyeongju Sangju Gyeongsang-do, Jeonju Naju Jeolla-do, Chungju Cheongju Chungcheong-do, Gangneung-wonju Gangwon-do, Hwangju-haeju Hwanghae-do, Pyongyang Anju Pyeongan-do, Hamheung Gyeongseong Hamgyeong-do, Jeju-do, which simply means 'a town that crosses the sea' There is no history, no humanities, no myths, no legends, so it tastes like frog urine.
Dong (洞) unit names were lost countless times while the Japanese were forcibly overhauling them in 1914. If recovering it is all the way, how about refining the name of the province? The meaning, culture, customs, legends, and myths of each province are added to it. For example, Jeju Island, which the old Japanese called as the land of utopia, was called Sejeong-do, or it was called the beautiful old name Tamrado (Country of Round Land).
