wiktionary
From French Chécagou, a transcription of Miami[Term?] or Potawatomi shikaakwa(“wild onion, leek; striped skunk”). Compare Ojibwe zhigaagawanzh / zhigaagawinzh(“onion, leek”), zhigaag(“striped skunk”).
etymonline
Chicago (n.)
town founded in 1833, named from a Canadian French form of an Algonquian word, either Fox /sheka:ko:heki/ "place of the wild onion," or Ojibwa shika:konk "at the skunk place" (sometimes rendered "place of the bad smell"). The Ojibwa "skunk" word is distantly related to the New England Algonquian word that yielded Modern English skunk (n.). Related: Chicagoan (1847; Chicagoian is from 1859).
