Wisconsin

The word has its origins in the name given to the Wisconsin River by one of the Algonquian-speaking American Indian groups living in the region at the time of European contact, probably Miami meskonsing (“it lies red”), borrowed into French as Ouisconsin by French explorers; compare Ojibwe misko- (“red”), -osin (“to lie”) and -ing (“locative suffix”).
