Oklahoma is from the Choctaw phrase okla humma commonly said to mean red people. It was recommended by a Choctaw Nation Chief, Allen Wright, in the 1800s. Saying it means red people may be an incorrect translation and it may mean something more like honorable Nation, a brave people, courageous Nation.
