おはよう is an informal way to say "good morning." Literally it means something like "it's early," but it's said as a greeting. Usually when it's written with our alphabet it's spelled Ohayou or Ohayo, although, as you say, it's pronounced about the same as the name of the state of Ohio!
The more formal way to say "good morning" in Japanese is おはようございます (ohayou gozaimas').

Good morning.
It's "ohayou", by the way.

Normally written 'Ohayo' in Latin letters, otherwise it would sound like [oh-hee-oh]. Good morning.

"Ohayo" means "Good morning."
An American memorized this Japanese word.
after few days....
In the morning, he saw his friend and said,"Minnesota."
what do you think?

O-ha-i-o is a state near the Great Lakes.
O-ha-yo-u is "Mornin'".
They only sound alike if you're a stupid foreigner.
