The musical name, “Wyoming,” was used by J.M. Ashley of Ohio, who, as early as 1865, introduced a bill to Congress to provide a “temporary government for the territory of Wyoming.” It was to be formed from portions of the Dakota, Utah and Idaho territories. The bill was referred to a committee where it rested until 1868. During debate on the bill in the U.S. Senate in 1868, other possible names were suggested, such as Cheyenne, Shoshoni, Arapaho, Sioux, Platte, Big Horn, Yellowstone, Sweetwater and Lincoln. “Wyoming” was already commonly used and remained the popular choice.
The name Wyoming was adopted from two Delaware Indian words, MECHEWEAMI-ING. To the Indians it means “at the big plains,” or “on the great plain,” certainly appropriate for Wyoming

Good mystery. Wyoming the Territory, was carved out the Dakota, Idaho and Utah Territories in 1864.Before that Illinois had the westernmost Wyoming. WY statehood followed in 1868. But Wyoming county, West Virginia was founded in 1850. While settled in colonial days, West Virginia was not one of the original 13 colonies. WV was created by seceding from Virginia during the Civil War. Wyoming is a place name used across the early US. KY,NY, NJ, OH, PA and RI all had areas named Wyoming probably years before settlers followed Lewis and Clark across the Rockies.
