We have a few similar place names in Virginia, a lot of them in the Tidewater area: Chincoteague, Assateague, Poquoson. My favorite is probably Assawoman.deer of the dawn wrote:I always loved the Native American names that dot New England maps, like Moosalamoo, Pawtucket, Narragansett, Wallenpaupack, Bomoseen, Moodus, Ompompanoosuc, Saugatuck, Skaghticoke.
