not Michigan but, Chicago translates roughly as " smelly water"
from a Native American tribe that lived around the area.
Chicago The name “Chicago” derives from a word in the language
spoken by the Miami
HTML http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/825.html
and
Illinois
HTML http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/625.html<br
/>peoples meaning “striped skunk, ” a word they also applied to
the wild leek (known to later botanists as Allium tricoccum).
This became the Indian name for the Chicago River
HTML http://www.encyclopedia.chicagohistory.org/pages/263.html,
in
recognition of the presence of wild leeks in the watershed. When
early French

/>explorers began adopting the word, with a variety of
spellings,
in the late seventeenth century, it came to refer to the site at
the mouth of the Chicago River.
