    Cecil Calvert called it Maryland in honor of Henrietta Maria, queen consort to Charles I. Maryland quickly became known as a refuge for Roman Catholics experiencing persecution in England. The colony eventually became the State of Maryland, with Cecil Calvert's brother Leonard Calvert serving as the first governor.
