Chicago is the city in Illinois that derives its name from an Algonquian word meaning "garlic field."
No city in Illinois has a name from Algonquin - that language is only spoken by the Algonquin tribe of Canada. Chicago is named from the Miami (not Algonquin) word chicagoua, meaning the wild native garlic plant (Allium tricoccum) - there is nothing in the word that represents "field", so it definitely does not mean "garlic field", simply "wild garlic".It is claimed that the Miami word also signifies "skunk", but this is given as shikakwa in modern sources.
As a result of the French exploration and settlement in this area, in the 18th century, Illinois was so named after the French version of the name of one tribe which thrived in the area. Thus Illinois (pronounced: /ˌɪləˈnoɪ/) is the French version of the Algonquin Indian word for "warriors" or "tribe of superior men."
