They are the same. The Puritans got permission from King Charles 1 to build a colony which they named "Massachusetts Bay". This remained the full name throughout the colonial period, but the word "Bay" dropped in common parlance. As a result, when Massachusetts Bay Colony became the State of Massachusetts, "Bay" was dropped altogether.
