It was white settlers who called the area "Kentucky", because they could not pronounce the Iroquoian name for the area.
This was probably a Wyandot (Huron) word meaning "plains" or "grasslands"; another alternative is Wyandot kentahteh, which means "tomorrow" (the lands which the Wyandots planned to occupy in the near future).
