Which US state gets its name from a made-up word?

Idaho has a completely made-up name. In 1860, a mining lobbyist named George M. Willing invented the word and lied to Congress, claiming it was a Native American Shoshone term meaning "gem of the mountains". 
How the Made-Up Name Stuck
  • The Deception: Congress initially used the name for a proposed territory before finding out it was a fake word. Lawmakers swapped the name to Colorado instead.
  • The Escape: Before the fraud was fully realized, the name had already been given to a local steamship, a town, and a county.
  • The Adoption: Because the word was already printed on maps and widely spoken, Congress used the name anyway when officially creating the Idaho Territory in 1863, which later became the 43rd state.
