英语词汇illinois的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Illinois. This central “Prairie State” is named for the Illinois Indians, as the French called the confederation of six Indian tribes in the area. Frenchmen were the first Europeans to enter Illinois territory, in 1673. They changed the Indian name Hileni or Ileni, meaning “man,” to Illin, adding their ois plural. Since the Indian plural is uk, Illinois might be Illinuk today if they hadn’t done so. The Illinois group is almost extinct today, num- bering between 200 and 300, compared to an estimated 8,000 in the 17th century.
