Hi Eliane:
Here is what my Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English
Language 1989 pg 297 says:

The official designation (rather than "state") of four States of the US: KY,
MA, PA, VA. A self-governing territory associated with the US: official
designation of Puerto Rico.

Commonwealth meaning any group of persons united by some common interest.

Regards,
