The name "Mississippi" originates from the Mississippi River, which flows through the state. The term comes from the Ojibwe word "misi-ziibi," meaning "great river." French explorers adopted this name in the 17th century, referring to both the river and the region surrounding it. Eventually, the state of Mississippi was named after the river when it was established in the 19th century.
