Delaware
英 ['deləwɛə]

助记提示
Delaware，又译德拉瓦尔州。该州的名称来源是曾经的一位英国驻弗吉尼亚殖民地的总督——特拉华爵士（Lord de la Warr）。后来殖民者用特拉华爵士之名为当地一条主要河流命名。为了符合英文的习惯，他们把de la Warr合并为Delawarr，并改为Delaware。再后来Delaware成为州名。
英文词源
- 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."
