∙ 13y agoYou are asking what it was named after. It was obviously named after the Yukon River, for it has the same name. But actually, no, it is not. The Yukon River was named after Yukon, not the other way around. Yukon in Gwich'in means Great River, so the great river territory. and then they named the great river, great river.
