Etymology of WYOME

The word Wyome appears to be a misspelling or a variant spelling of the state Wyoming.

Wyoming's name is derived from the Wyoming Valley in northeastern Pennsylvania, which itself was named after the Lenape Native American word Maughwauwama or Maughwauwama, meaning at the big river flat.

When the Wyoming Territory was established in 1868, it was named after the valley, using the same spelling. The letter y was used instead of the original i to avoid confusion with the similarly spelled state of Wisconsin.
