Delaware
英 ['del?w??]
美
助記提示
Delaware，又譯德拉瓦爾州。該州的名稱來源是曾經(jīng)的一位英國駐弗吉尼亞殖民地的總督——特拉華爵士（Lord de la Warr）。后來殖民者用特拉華爵士之名為當(dāng)?shù)匾粭l主要河流命名。為了符合英文的習(xí)慣，他們把de la Warr合并為Delawarr，并改為Delaware。再后來Delaware成為州名。
英文詞源
- Delaware
- U.S. state, river, Indian tribe, named for the bay, which was named for Baron (commonly "Lord") De la Warr (Thomas West, 1577-1618), first English colonial governor of Virginia. The family name is attested from 1201, from Delaware in Brasted, Kent, probably ultimately from de la werre "of the war" (a warrior), from Old French werre/guerre "war."
