Peoria means...

He comes carrying a pack on his back.

The Peoria were a Native people, a small group who intermarried with other nations and were a diverse people who welcomed ex-slaves and orphaned children of any heritage to their group.

The Peoria were from this region and I can find no explanation on how there came to be a Peoria, Arizona. I hate that it exists because google searching would be much faster if I didn't always have to add that "IL". Also Craigslist in Peoria, AZ had some good stuff that I could not pick up because I live in Illinois now.
