Mississippi is a southern state of the United States . The state takes its name from the Mississippi River , which flows along the western boundary. The name itself comes from either the Ojibwe , a Native American language spoken around the river's headwaters, or some other closely related Algonquian language , meaning "great river." Other nicknames attached to Mississippi are the Magnolia State and the Hospitality State.
