   Most of New England was settled by the English. survival was the main gig and Inventing new names for the places they settled was never a high priority. When the British settlers from England had a new place they were settling and it needed a name they usually chose a name that was already familiar to them from their life in England.  as we all know there is a Hampshire in Southern England so make it feel like home away from home they named this new place "New Hampshire".
