From "Teycha" in Caddo -- "friends". At least, allegedly. As always, accounts differ...That depends on whether you mean the modern spelling of "Teyas"or "Tejas," as it appeared in mid sixteenth century Spanish documents. I don't know when Anglos changed it to "Texas," but it must have been at least by the early nineteenth century. It was originally a Caddo indian word.The name Llano Estocado is well older than the name Texas,
