According to the origins of state names, three states are named after women.

1.) Virginia - Named for Queen Elizabeth I of England, also known as the "Virgin Queen"

2.) West Virginia - This territory separated from Virginia to form a state so consequently is also named for a woman.

3.) Maryland - Named for Henrietta Maria of France.
