The University of Kansas Jayhawks derived their name from a combination of the state's history and a fictional character. The term "Jayhawk" originally referred to a group of anti-slavery activists during the Bleeding Kansas era in the mid-19th century. The name also connects to the "jayhawkers," who were known for their raids against pro-slavery forces. Today, the Jayhawk symbolizes the spirit and resilience of the Kansas community.
