not sure if we talk about the same thing, but...
Commonwealth is a designation used by some states of the United States in their full, official state names: Kentucky, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Virginia.
In addition, two U.S. territories are also designated as commonwealths: Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands.

I believe that this term goes back to the days when what is now the United States was a collection of 13 British colonies. It really has no meaning today. It was kept as part of these states' names as a reminder of their history, so far as I know.
