File talk:US State Name Etymologies4.png

Many of the colors on this chart are problematic for red/green colorblind readers (see WP:COLOR).

These sets of names have indistinguishable colors: tschwenn (talk) 09:30, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Siouan, and Iroquian
 * Other Native American, English, and French
 * Uto-Aztecan, and Spanish
 * Hawaiian, Latin, and Uncertain/Disputed

Delaware is mislabeled. I think it should be [Algonquian] (since Delewarean is listed there as a language group).

Delaware
I believe Delaware's etymology came from a Dutch settler named De La Warr, and thus should be labeled as Dutch, or failing that as "other European". Obviously the name was Anglicized over time.
