Vermont: The origin of the name "Vermont" is uncertain, but likely comes from the French les Verts Monts, meaning "the Green Mountains". Thomas Young introduced it in 1777. Some say that the mountains were called green because they were more forested than the higher White Mountains of New Hampshire and Adirondacks of New York.
