Having prominent or large eyes like those of a buckeye deer, or relating to Ohio (the Buckeye State).
From 'buckeye,' referring to the eye-like appearance of the buckeye nut (with its dark seed surrounded by lighter scar tissue). Ohio is named the Buckeye State because the tree was common there.
The buckeye tree gets its name from a Native American origin—early settlers noticed the nut's resemblance to a deer's eye, and the name stuck so well that Ohio eventually adopted it as their state symbol and nickname.
