Louisiana, it was named after the French King Louis XIV. When René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle claimed the territory drained by the Mississippi River for France, he named it La Louisiane, meaning "Land of Louis". Louisiana was also part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain of the Spanish Empire. The territory was acquired in 1803 by the United States through the Louisiana Purchase from France. Also, a big city in the US was named after a French King, Louis XVI: Louisville in Kentucky.
