Best Answer

The state of Missouri was named after the Missourah Indians but someplace along the time, it became Missouree. The "only" official pronunciation came about when an elementary school class wrote then Attorney General Tom Eggleton and asked him for an "official" pronunciation. His answer was "Missourah".
