Lang->Place Names: American indian place names
Posted on Monday, January 07 @ 10:57:56 CST (4929 reads)

AUTHOR: Borgna Brunner
About half of the states in the US got their names from Indian words. The name of Kentucky comes from an Iroquoian word (Kentahten), which means "land of tomorrow."
Connecticut's name comes from the Mohican word (Quinnehtukqut), which means "beside the long tidal river." And the word "Podunk," meant to describe a insignificant town out in the middle of nowhere, comes from a Natick Indian word meaning "swampy place."

Author: Thomas Ivan Dahlheimer
My international movement to rename Minnesota’s Rum River is steadily gaining more and more support. Recently, several Minnesota legislators sent me letters wherein they thanked me for the work that I am doing to change this river’s derogatory name.

KEYWORDS: Native American languages English language origins vocabulary place name origins animal names origins of state names
Suppose you had been one of the early explorers or immigrants to North America. You would have found many things in this new land which were previously unknown to you.
The handiest way of filling voids in your vocabulary would have been to ask local Native Americans what words they used.
The early colonists began borrowing words from friendly Native Americans almost from the moment of their first contact, and many of those names remain in our everyday English language today.
