英文词源
- Minnesota
- originally the name of the river, from Dakota (Siouan) mnisota, literally "cloudy water, milky water," from mni "river, stream" + sota "slightly clouded." As the name of a U.S. territory from 1849 (admitted as a state 1858). Related: Minnesotan.
中文解释
出自苏族人的语言。Minne意思是“水”。Sota意思是“天蓝色的”。该名原为密西西比河的一条支流的名字。后来欧洲各国殖民者都想用自己的语言为这里命名，但最重妥协为用这个原住民语言的词汇命名。
