Early French explorers met the Illinois tribe and tried to communicate with them without any clear understanding of their language. When they asked the name of a major river, the natives said ouabouskigou, which the French did not understand and the nearest they could pronounce it was "oubache".
The meaning of the native word is unknown - it may not even be the name of the river, but some comment about the French explorers! Later English-speaking Americans changed it to Wabash, which has been applied to both a river and a city in Indiana.
