Both names come from American Indian languages and were given to the areas by the French settlers. Although they both contain "Kansas" there is no obvious link. Kansas comes from the Sioux Indian word for "south wind people." The name Arkansas is the French interpretation of a Sioux word: acansa, meaning "downstream place."
