"The name "Arkansas" reflects both our French and Indian heritage. The French explorers referred to the native Americans who lived in northern Arkansas as "Arkansaes" (meaning South Wind).
The spelling comes from early French usage and the precedent set by the Arkansas Gazette. The pronunciation was determined by the General Assembly of 1881 after much investigation. The name is pronounced "Ark-an-saw", not "Ark-an-sas". At one time it was against the law to mispronounce the name, so be careful out there!"

Oh what the hell, I'll dive in.
Germans are the largest ethnic group in the US.
Just for fun.
Migration in the US usually moved westward. (Simple enough) You didn't stray too far from the weather, topography and agriculture you know.
Southern states (Scotch/Irish)comprised the bulk of Anglo settlers in early Texas while those from the NE moved into the Ohio River region and then across the plains to the Northwest.
With Texas, the Hispanic population dwindled down to very low numbers -something like 300 families were left in the entire sate, and Anglos such as Moses Austin were invited to settle to fill the place up and provide a buffer from the remaining settlements along the Rio Grande and San Antonio River from raids by Apache and Commanche tribes.
After the revolution the Germans and Czechs showed up by boat along the coast and walked their way up to new settlements in the Hill Country northwest of San Antonio. A large chunk of them died along the way. Some French showed up, cause what the hell, why not?
It wasn't until the disastrous couple of decades of revolt and overthrow of governments in Mexico around the turn of the 20th century that Hispanics started moving into Texas again in large numbers.
White - 45.3%
Hispanic - 37.6%
Black - 11.8%
Asian - 3.8%
Other - 10.5% (Probably Arkansans)
