Answer:
Texas derived its name from a Caddo word from which means <u>friend.</u>
Explanation:
The word is "teyshas" and while it means friends, it also can mean allies.
Spanish explorers recorded it as Teyas or Tejas in the 1540s, believing that it was a tribal name. Later, it was applied to areas north of the Rio Grande and east of New Mexico.
The state's motto, "friendship," still reflects that heritage.
On May 31, 1961, Meredith, with backing of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, alleging that the university had rejected him only because of his race, as he had a highly successful record of military service and academic courses.
