The etymology I’ve heard isn’t even listed in the article. One theory traces “Kentucky” to early forms like Cantucky or Cane-tucky, referring to the region’s vast river-cane brakes, Kentucky River cane, North America’s only native bamboo, which early inhabitants associated with fertile, game-rich land.

In that theory, where does the "tucky" come from?
