The original name is from the Mohegan word "quinnitukqut" which means "at the long tidal river."

The name was transliterated sort of poorly (see: Nippon vs. Japan for another example... among thousands) by the English speaking folks of the time and it became Connecticut when spelled but the pronunciation was a little harder to fudge, it seems.
