name
  1. 1.

    A lagoon of the Gulf of Mexico, and formerly a true lake, in southeastern Louisiana.

词源

Derived from French lac Borgne (“One-Eyed Lake”), probably because it was not entirely surrounded by land, its eastern end having a wide opening to the Gulf of Mexico. French borgne could have also signified "dingy", as the water may have appeared when compared to that of the clearer Mississippi Sound.
