Pennsylvania

Merriam-Webster
William Penn (Royal Navy officer)
en:William Penn

From Penn (“William Penn”) + sylvan (“woods”) + -ia (“land”). On March 4, 1681, Charles II of England granted a land tract to William Penn for the area that now includes Pennsylvania. Penn then founded a colony there as a place of religious freedom for Quakers, and named it for the Latin sylva, silva (“meaning "wood"”), thus "Pennsylvania" (Penn's woods). Some propose that the "Penn" is derived from William's more respected father, also named William Penn.

I personally am not aware of rabid anti-Semitism, but I know it exits in places such as Pennsatucky...I mean Pennsylvania....but only in the most rural, isolated areas.
