the procees of ivers going down the first river was called Mississippi and had larger mouth than all the other rivers where it joins although it should be called Missouri becuz at the point the mississippi and missouri come together the missouri is bigger
Though the river was called by many different names, the name Mississippi given to it by the Indians was the name that was used on Robert Cavelier Sieur de La Salle's map of the area in 1695.
"The name Mississippi is derived from the Ojibwe word misi-ziibi ("Great River") or gichi-ziibi ("Big River") at its headwaters."
What does the word Mississippi mean? The name Mississippi comes from the French "Messipi" - the French rendering of the Anishinaabe (Ojibwe or Algonquin) name for the river, "Misi-ziibi," meaning "Great River."

In truth it is the other way around with the State being named after the River.
It's not called the River Mississippi. It's the Mississippi River.
It comes from the indian word "misi-ziibi" which means great river
