Lake Michigan is named after the Ojibwe word "mishigami," meaning "great water," but it is often associated with the famous person, Michilimackinac's founder, Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, Sieur de Cadillac. However, a more direct connection is found in Lake Houghton, named after the prominent Michigan politician and Civil War general, Houghton, who played a significant role in the state's development. Additionally, there are lakes like Lake St. Clair, which is named after the saint, and not a specific individual, so the context matters in defining "famous person."
