Etymology
The state is named after Atwick Island, called in Colonial times as Trinity Island. The most widespread version of the origin of the name. The name is attributed to Charles Quentins, one of the first bishops of the Federal States, who argued that the name arose after having survived a terrible storm on the high seas and having miraculously arrived on the island. Andrew Fletcher, captain of the Atwick, attributed his arrival to the island to the prayer to the Holy Trinity that the religious group (led by Quentins) made a few moments ago, and therefore gave the island and the subsequent colony that name. The name was made official by Ingerland for the entire colony shortly after.
The name remained in use for the state after the independence of Ingerland, and it was also approved to name the main island as Atwick Island to differentiate it from the state.
