Etymology
Oregon probably comes from an old Native American word that meant something like 'big river' or 'western land', but people disagree about the exact origin. A helpful way to remember Oregon is to think of it as the place named for that river and the wild Pacific coast, which is why today Oregon is the state in the northwest of the United States.
