Growing up in Pennsylvania, and calling this great state my home, I have always knew that it stood for "Penn's Woods". The interesting thing is that the name has roots from England, and honors the history of America pre-independence.

Origin of "Pennsylvania"

Pennsylvania means "Penn's woods" or "Penn's land." Quaker William Penn was granted the tract of land by King Charles II of England in 1681 as repayment of debt owed to Penn's father (Admiral William Penn). Originally, Penn suggested "Sylvania" (woodland) for his land. All State Name Origins
