Arkansas

• (river): Arkansa (archaic)
• Arkansaw (obsolete, the spelling used when the territory was organized in 1819)

From the name of the Arkansas River, from French Arcansas, a (plural) designation of either a Siouan tribe or the Quapaw.^[1] This designation is sometimes claimed to derive from a Quapaw word *akakaze (“land of downriver people”) or a Lakota/Dakota word *akakaze (“people of the south wind”); more likely, it derives from a Siouan ethnonym cognate to Kansa (whence also the name of the state of Kansas).^[1]

Arkansas

1. A state in the South Central region of the United States. Capital and largest city: Little Rock.
2. A river in the United States, rising in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, and flowing generally southeast over 1,400 miles through Kansas, Oklahoma and Arkansas, where it joins the Mississippi in Desha County.

• The pronunciation of the name of the state of Arkansas with a silent final s was made official by an act of the state legislature in 1881, after a dispute arose between the state's two US senators, one of whom favored /ˈɑɹkənsɔː/ and the other of whom favored /ɑɹˈkænzəs/.^[2] /ɑɹˈkænzəs/ is still common, especially in Kansas, as a pronunciation of the name of the river.
