贵格会的领袖威廉·宾率先开发这片位于东海岸的树林，并将其命名为Pennsylvania。其中Penn为威廉·宾的姓氏，而Sylvania意为“树林”。连起来就是“宾家的树林”。而Penn最初来自于威尔士语，有”高地“的意思，因此Pennsylvania也可以理解为“高处的树林”。由于宾夕法尼亚西部位于阿巴拉契亚山以及阿勒格尼高原，因此这里形成了一个很巧的一语双关。
英语词源
- Pennsylvania
- American colony, later U.S. state, 1681, literally "Penn's Woods," a hybrid formed from the surname Penn (Welsh, literally "head") + Latin sylvania (see sylvan). Not named for William Penn, the proprietor, but, on suggestion of Charles II, for Penn's late father, Admiral William Penn (1621-1670), who had lent the king the money that was repaid to the son in the form of land for a Quaker settlement in America. The story goes that the younger Penn wanted to call it New Wales, but the king's secretary, a Welshman of orthodox religion, wouldn't hear of it. Pennsylvania Dutch is attested from 1824.
