英语词汇wyoming的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Wyoming. Wyoming comes from the Algonquian Mache- weaming, meaning “place of the big flats,” actually a west Penn- sylvania valley where a pre-Revolutionary Indian massacre had occurred that was celebrated in the popular sentimental poem “Gertrude of Wyoming.” It became the name of several U.S. counties and in 1890 that great name-giver Congressman James M. Ashlet bestowed it upon our 44th state (“The Equality State”) because it was “a beautiful name,” never thinking that “place of the big flats” hardly suited this mountainous western state.
