Pennsylvanian.

PennsylvaniaAmerican 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.
