All the reasons Michigan is better than Ohio. Some good ones on here
What’s in a name? In this case, another reason that Michigan is better than Ohio. “Michigan” is a frenchified version of the Ojibwa word “mishigamaa” which means “large lake.”
“Ohio” is an anglicized version of the Iroquois word “ohi-yo” meaning “large creek.” I’ve never heard of a family “going to the creek for the weekend” or “buying a vacation home on the creek.” From where I’m sitting, a lake beats a creek every time

Wait are you celebrating a name that's french? I am in unfamiliar territory when french things are reserved for bragging rights hahaha
