The name Iowa is probably from an Indian word meaning “the beautiful land.”
Isaiah 62:4 (Amplified Bible)
You [Judah] shall no more be termed Forsaken, nor shall your land be called Desolate any more. But you shall be called Hephzibah [My delight is in her], and your land be called Beulah [married]; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married [owned and protected by the Lord].
O Lord, may You delight in the state of Iowa. Amen.
