No, the name of Ohio is claimed to come from an unspecified Iroquoian term ohi-yo', meaning great river.The Oneida word -wyhuhowanʌ- signifies "big river"; Cayuga uses the word gihęk for "river" and gihęgowahneh refers to a "big river". The Mohawk word for river is kahyonhowanen.It may be that ohi-yo' is meant to represent the first part of the Oneida word -wyhuhowanʌ-, or it may be that the language is a long-extinct member of the Iroquoian language family.In Seneca, the term ohi:'i:o` means "beautiful river" and refers to the Allegheny, not the Ohio river.
