I'm happily reading some elementary text and come upon 爱荷华. I look up a few entries in the dictionary and because nothing makes sense, I apply my knee-jerk reaction: if it doesn't make sense, it's probably a name.

Am I in the ballpark? It sounds like Iowa to me, but another dictionary renders Iowa as 愛阿華.

Thanks.

Yes, it is Iowa. Another chinese transliteration for Iowa is 艾奧瓦.
