Connecticut

English

Map of US highlighting Connecticut

Etymology

Said to be from Mohegan-Pequot quinnitukqut (“at the long tidal river”), from *kwen- (“long”) (spelling perhaps due to confusion with connect) + *-ehtekw (“tidal river”) + *-enk (locative). (Can this⁽⁺⁾ etymology be sourced? Particularly: “this derivation conflicts with the form "quinnitukqut"; also the orthographies don't match”)
