Huh.    I'd always heard that Arkansas and Kansas have different roots.
When looking at each state's websites,  the following is found:

The name Arkansas is the French interpretation of a Sioux word:acansa,
meaning "downstream place." 

What does Kansas mean? Kansas comes from the Sioux Indian word for "south
wind people."
