Question

The name texas is derived from a caddo indian name meaning what?

Answer 1

Answer:

Texas derived its name from a Caddo word from which means friend.

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.
