Huh. I'd always heard that Arkansas and Kansas have different roots.
When looking at each state's websites, the following is found:
The name Arkansas is the French interpretation of a Sioux word:acansa,
meaning "downstream place."
What does Kansas mean? Kansas comes from the Sioux Indian word for "south
wind people."
