The name came from the Arkansas River. French speakers wrote Arcansas for a Siouan people there, often identified with the Quapaw. Some people say the name meant “land of downriver people” (from Quapaw) or “people of the south wind” (from Lakota or Dakota); those stories get repeated, but they are probably not the strongest.
