Most people say Maine's name evolved in this way: Because of Maine's many islands, early sailors, fishermen, and explorers may have spoken of "the main" or the "main land." This became "Maine."
Another theory holds that it comes from a province in France of the same name. It may have been chosen to compliment the queen of Charles I, Henrietta Maria, who had inherited the province in France.
