Naming of Idaho
I've been wondering this for a little while. I read that Idaho was named after American (born in Philadelphia). He suggested to the US Congress that it should be named "Idaho" after an apparent Shoshone language, which meant "the sun comes from the mountains" or "gem of the mountains". However, he later claimed that he made up the name. It's argued that it actually is a Shoshone word, but there is a lack of evidence that this is true. Anyway, my question is: would Idaho still be named Idaho in TTL? ChrisL123 21:53, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
