  southern 
  name 
  applied 
  to 
  a 
  town

  is 
  usually 
  

   defined 
  the 
  place 
  of 
  rest, 
  or 
  here 
  we 
  rest. 
  In 
  this 
  case 
  the 
  primary 
  

   reference 
  may 
  be 
  to 
  the 
  sluggish 
  water 
  in 
  the 
  lower 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  

   Alabama 
  river. 
  It 
  has 
  also 
  been 
  interpreted 
  thicket 
  clearers, 
  as 
  

   though 
  made 
  ready 
  for

  place 
  of 
  the 
  Penobscots, 
  or 
  some 
  other 
  

   eastern 
  Indians. 
  It 
  probably 
  is 
  a 
  corruption 
  of 
  Morgan's 
  name 
  for 
  

   that 
  stream. 
  The 
  next 
  four 
  are

  has 
  been 
  translated 
  mos- 
  

   quito. 
  This 
  insect's 
  Onondaga

  valley, 
  once 
  known 
  as 
  Big 
  

   Tree 
  town. 
  This 
  and 
  the

  two 
  are 
  from

  Ja'-go-o-geh,

  of 
  hearing. 
  Black 
  creek. 
  This 
  word 
  is 
  of 
  

   the 
  feminine 
  gender, 
  and 
  thus 
  differs 
  slightly 
  from 
  that 
  for 
  Stafford, 
  

   given 
  by 
  the 
  same 
  author 
  as 
  Ya'-go-o-geh.

  Kentucky 
  is 
  an 
  introduced 
  name 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  Algonquin, 
  as 
  the 
  

   ending 
  suggests, 
  but 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  word 
  kentahkee, 
  among 
  the 
  mead- 
  

   ows, 
  or 
  lowlands, 
  is 
  satisfactory. 
  Webster's 
  dictionary 
  defines 
  it 
  

   at 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  a 
  river, 
  but 
  in 
  any 
  case 
  it 
  does 
  not 
  mean 
  the 
  dark 
  

   and 
  bloody 
  ground, 
  as 
  some 
  suppose.
