Most the names come from the indigenous people. Which their land was taken away from them and they’re forced to live on reservations 🤔

So we didn't just steal their land, we stole the meaning and definition of their land as well.

I'm not from Illinois, but I've been there. The name comes from joining the words "ill", meaning "sick"; and "annoy", meaning "irritate". People from Illinois are called "FIPs". I can't recall what the "F" stands for, but the "IP" means "Illinois people". So I guess it's "fabulous Illinois people"? Or "fantastic Illinois people"? I can't remember.
