Don't stress too much about changing your name. After all, originally, what we presently refer to as "Texas" wasn't even known as Texas! The name of our state is derived from both the Caddo tribe and the Spaniards. During the Spanish exploration of Texas in the 1540s, the Spaniards met the Hasnai Caddo tribe in what is now East Texas. For the Native Americans tayshas refers to "friends" or "allies." In Spanish, the translation came out as tejas. Ultimately, Tejas became Texas!
