It is commonly thought that Plymouth, MA is named after the English coastal town of Plymouth, from which the Pilgrim Fathers set out in the Mayflower; however, this is incorrect.
In 1614 Captain John Smith, an explorer, mapped the areas of Maine and Massachusetts, which he called "New England." During this expedition he but also encountered, documented and recorded the locations of a number of local Indian tribes.
Upon returning to England, Captain Smith asked Charles I of England to provide names to the settlements he found. As a result, Charles I renamed the area of the Accomack tribe to Plymouth... long before the Mayflower and the Pilgrims ever landed.
