The peninsula where Delaware is located actually has parts of three different states - all of Delaware, the eastern portion of Maryland, and a small portion of Virginia (the southern tip of the peninsula).
The name Delmarva incorporates the first three letters of Delaware (Del), the first three letters or Maryland (mar) and the abbreviation for Virginia (va). Combine the three elements and you have Delmarva.
