Best Answer

The name is a European corruption of the local native Miami or Ojibwe name meskousing or meskonsing, referring to the red stone found in that area.

The Ojibwe word for red is misskwa (mihkoowi in Miami), while stone is ahsin (ahseni in Miami), so misskwahsin (Miami mihkoowahseni) = red stone.
