Why do states begin with New?
When Europeans colonized the Americas, settlers often named new places after familiar places they had left behind. For instance, Plymouth where the Mayflower landed was named after Plymouth, England. North America has towns named London, Paris, Madrid, and everything in between. Sometimes, settlers used the word "new" in front of these names. This was in part because the Americas were then known as the "New World" (i.e. new to Europeans). The "new" also evokes "New Jerusalem," which has to do with a concept from the Bible about the second coming of Christ--the religious connotation was very clear to European settlers, many of whom had left Europe for religious persecution reasons. So, instead of naming the new town simply "York" after York, England, English settlers named it New York--York in the New World. The "new" was also used in French and Spanish place names: Nouvelle-France (New France), Neuva Espana (New Spain), Nouvelle-Orleans (New Orleans). We also have Neuvo Mexico (New Mexico). There is at least one Latin example: Nova Scotia (New Scotland).
