Excerpt from The Algonquian Terms Patawomeke (Potomac) And Massawomeke: With Historical and Ethonological Notes
This anomalous state of affairs is due to the fact that the translator endeavored to find an etymology suitable to the present topographical features without trying to discover whether or not the name rightfully belonged there. Some are random conjectures, without a particle of traditional, historical, or etymological foundation; others are based on hypothetical deductions derived from foreign radicals.
