Explanation:
[STC001594] Naturally, many of the earliest colonies bore the names of British kings and queens. Virginia was given her name in honor of Queen Elizabeth I, sometimes known as “The Virgin Queen,” when she granted the adventurer Sir Walter Raleigh permission to settle there in 1584. King Charles II, who had given certain noblemen the area south of Virginia as a gift in 1663, is credited with giving the region its name. (The name “Carolina” is derived from the Latin word “Caroliinus,” which itself is derived from the name “Carolus,” which means “Charles” in English.) At King George II’s desire, the colony of Georgia was founded in 1732 and given his name. The situation in New Jersey is a little different. Sir George Carteret and Sir John Berkeley received the region between the Delaware and Hudson rivers when King Charles II split the former Dutch kingdom of New Netherland. In honor of Carteret’s birthplace, the British Channel Island of Jersey, they called it the Province of New Jersey.
