助記提示
來自易諾奎語Kentake，意思是“鮮血染紅的土地”。該州位于阿巴拉契亞山西側(cè)，扼守南北要道，曾經(jīng)是各大印第安人部落之間反復(fù)爭奪之地，發(fā)生過不少惡戰(zhàn)，因此得名。
英文詞源
- Kentucky
- U.S. state, earlier a county of Virginia, organized 1776; the name is of Iroquois or Shawnee origin, perhaps a Wyandot (Iroquoian) word meaning "meadow" (compare Seneca geda'geh "at the field"); the original use in English seems to have been the river name; the native use perhaps was first in reference to a village in what now is Clark County known in Shawnee as Eskippakithiki. Related: Kentuckian.
