How was New Hampshire named?
Most of New England was settled by the English. Inventing new names for the places they settled was never a high priority. In fact, it is very rare for anyone to think up a "new name". I'll bet your name is the same name shared by thousands of people. When the settlers from England had a new place they were settling and it needed a name they usually chose a name that was already familiar to them from their life in England. There is a Hampshire in Southern England and so they named this new place "New Hampshire". Not very original but it probably also helped them feel a little more at home to have places named like that. It got its name from a little county on the southern cost of England. Most places with a "new" are from Europe.
Who obtained New Hampshire and gave it its name?
Captain John Mason obtained the land that is now New Hampshire through a land grant from the Council for New England in 1622. He named the area "New Hampshire" after the English county of Hampshire, where he had lived. Mason's intentions were to establish a settlement and promote colonization in the region. The name reflects both his origins and the practice of naming new territories after familiar places in England.
