There is no concrete reason. A lot of speculation. One claim is the word is of corruption of "who's there," while another is a barkeep finding an ear on the floor and saying "who's ear." Nobody really knows.

Forgot about the indian word for corn too.

People from Indiana, are referred to as Hoosiers.

So I'll have to read about this, why they're referred to as Hoosiers.

"The following theories and stories about the origin of the word “Hoosier” are known to be false:

• It comes from the word Hoosa, which means American Indian maize or corn.
  
• Hoosier’s Men was a term used for Indiana employees of a canal contractor named Hoosier.
  
• “Who’s ear?” – Writer James Whitcomb Riley joked that this question, supposedly posed by early Indiana settlers following tavern fights which had resulted in someone’s ear being cut off and left on the floor, eventually became the word “Hoosier."
• “Who’s yer/here?” – This was supposedly the way early Indiana settlers would respond to a knock on their cabin doors. The story goes that it was eventually shortened to “Hoosier?”
• “Who’s your [relative]?” – Again, legend has it that this question was eventually shortened to “Hoosier?”

Take your pick, no one is sure of the 'real' origin
