Texas got its name from the Caddo Native American word "taysha," meaning "friend" or "ally." Spanish explorers adopted this term, spelling it as "Tejas," which later evolved into "Texas." The name reflects the region's early history of alliances and interactions between Native Americans and European settlers. Texas officially became a U.S. state in 1845.
