英文词源
- Illinois
- U.S. territory created 1809; name is from a native Algonquian people who called themselves Inoca (1725), also written Ilinouek, Old Ottawa for "ordinary speaker." The modern form represents a 17c. French spelling, pronounced "ilinwe" at that time. Admitted as a state 1818.
中文解释
最初来源于当地的部落名Illiniwek，简称Illini（就是University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign的那个绰号Fighting Illini），意思是“战斗的民族”。后来法国人来了，按法语的习惯，在地名的词后加上了ois这个词缀。
