New Jersey. Though it doesn’t look like it at first glance, the state’s name is another that has to be credited to the Caesars. New Jersey was named after Jersey, the largest of England’s Channel Islands, in honor of Sir George Carteret, who had been governor of the Isle of Jersey and successfully defended it against Cromwell’s forces. In 1664 Charles II had granted all lands between the Delaware River and Connecticut to his brother, the duke of York, who in turn granted the New Jersey portion to Carteret and Lord Berkeley. England’s Isle of Jersey (a corruption of Caesaria) had been named for the Caesars when the Romans added it to their possessions, and so New Jer- sey also bears the immortal name.
