Willing presented the name 'Idaho' to congress for a new territory around Pike's Peak, claiming it was a Native American Shoshone phrase: 'E Dah Hoe (How),' supposedly meaning 'Gem of the Mountains.' By the time the deception was discovered, the name 'Idaho' was already in common use. (statesymbolsusa.org)
