They named it Cantucky The spelling of the word changed over the years but the word Cantucky actually is the Indian word meaning Dark and Bloody Ground.

Algonquin Indian word although there is some dispute between "dark and bloody ground" and also an Iriquois word that sounds similar to Kentucky that means "meadowland"
