About this photo
The image is a map of the United States showing the origin of US state names. Each state is colored according to a legend that indicates whether its name comes from a monarch/person, Native American names, European words, other places, a European modification of native names, is unknown, or was possibly invented. The mood is educational and informative. The legend is clearly visible and categorizes the states by color.
