KBC 2023: Which of these US states is not named in honour of an English monarch?

Answer: Maryland

The name Maryland comes from Queen Henrietta Maria (1609–1669), who was married to Charles I (1600–1649) and signed the document that made Maryland a colony in 1632. Louis XIV of France (1553–1610) and his second wife, Marie de Medici, had a daughter named Henrietta Maria.
