It's better with Iroquois names.

Michigan is an Ojibwe name. It means "Large lake"

They aren't renaming the lake, they are naming it after the group of Iroquois who used to live there.

I didn't say they were renaming the lake. Ojibwe used to like in that area too, hence why the lake has that name.
