The Colony name Massachusetts probably came from a member of the Algonquian people who lived in the Massachusetts bay area, the person who probably helped name this colony's name was Massachuset (pronounced mass-a-so-it). As you can see, it is very similar in spelling, it is just pronounced differently.
