Virginia (and West Virginia, which split off in 1863) were named after Queen Elizabeth I, the "virgin queen"

Wisconsin comes from the Algonquian for "grassy place" or "beaver place"
(someone sure had something for beavers....beaver pelts probably).

And lastly, Wyoming.
Wyoming comes from the Algonquian for "place of the big flats"
But in an episode of Garfield & Friends it was said to mean "no state here"  |
