  Ne-so-pack 
  pond 
  was 
  on 
  the 
  line 
  of 
  land 
  bought 
  in 
  Lewisboro 
  in 
  

   1708. 
  This 
  is 
  from 
  neeshauog, 
  eels, 
  and 
  pa.ug,' 
  water 
  or 
  pond. 
  

  

  Nim-ham 
  mountain 
  was 
  called 
  after 
  a 
  noted 
  chief. 
  

  

  Ni-pi-nich-sen 
  was 
  a 
  fort 
  at 
  Spuyten 
  Dnyvil 
  creek, 
  and 
  was 
  on 
  

   the 
  north 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  creek 
  at 
  Berrian's 
  Neck. 
  Tooker 
  interprets 
  

   this 
  small 
  pond, 
  deriving 
  it 
  from 
  nipisse, 
  the 
  diminutive 
  of 
  nippe, 
  

   thus 
  making 
  it 
  mean 
  small 
  mater. 
  

  

  Noch-pe-em 
  has 
  Noapain 
  and 
  Ochpeen 
  as 
  variants, 
  and 
  its 
  sachem 
  

   was 
  mentioned 
  in 
  1644. 
  It 
  appears 
  on 
  Van 
  der 
  Donck's 
  map. 
  

   Tooker 
  makes 
  this 
  a 
  dwelling 
  place, 
  but 
  the 
  reason 
  is 
  not 
  clear. 
  

  

  Noname's 
  hill 
  still 
  bears 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  that 
  chief. 
  

  

  O-nox 
  had 
  its 
  name 
  from 
  the 
  oldest 
  son 
  of 
  Ponus, 
  a 
  chief 
  of 
  

   importance. 
  

  

  Oregon 
  is 
  a 
  western 
  name 
  applied 
  to 
  a 
  village 
  in 
  Cortlandt. 
  

  

  Os-ca-wa-na. 
  The 
  sachem 
  of 
  this 
  place 
  was 
  mentioned 
  in 
  1690, 
  

   and 
  the 
  name 
  is 
  now 
  given 
  to 
  Oscawana 
  island, 
  apparently 
  referring 
  

   to 
  grass, 
  or 
  any 
  green 
  herb. 
  

  

  Os-sin-sing, 
  stone 
  upon 
  stone, 
  is 
  now 
  the 
  town 
  of 
  Ossining. 
  Sing 
  

   Sing 
  is 
  derived 
  by 
  Ruttenber 
  from 
  ossin, 
  a 
  stone, 
  and 
  ing, 
  place, 
  and 
  

   thence 
  comes 
  place 
  of 
  stones. 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  usual 
  general 
  definition. 
  

   In 
  a 
  deed 
  of 
  1685 
  there 
  is 
  mentioned 
  " 
  a 
  creek 
  called 
  Kitchawan, 
  

   called 
  by 
  the 
  Indians 
  Sink 
  Sink." 
  The 
  former 
  name 
  is 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  

   Croton 
  river, 
  but 
  both 
  are 
  appropriate 
  for 
  many 
  places. 
  

  

  Pa-cha-mitt 
  was 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  a 
  tribe 
  from 
  the 
  place 
  where 
  they 
  

   lived, 
  given 
  by 
  Tooker 
  as 
  meaning 
  the 
  turning 
  aside 
  place. 
  The 
  

   chief 
  Pachami 
  had 
  his 
  name 
  from 
  this. 
  

  

  Pa-pir-in-i-men 
  was 
  Bolton's 
  name 
  for 
  Spuyten 
  Duyvil 
  creek, 
  

   but 
  O'Callaghan 
  applied 
  it 
  to 
  land 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  creek. 
  As 
  early 
  as 
  

   1669 
  a 
  causeway 
  was 
  to 
  be 
  made 
  over 
  marshy 
  land 
  between 
  Papa- 
  

   rinimon 
  and 
  Fordham. 
  Tooker 
  assigned 
  it 
  both 
  to 
  the 
  creek 
  and 
  

   a 
  place 
  at 
  the 
  north 
  end 
  of 
  Manhattan 
  island, 
  and 
  thought 
  it 
  a 
  per- 
  

   sonal 
  name, 
  meaning 
  to 
  parcel 
  out 
  or 
  divide. 
  In 
  1682 
  was 
  men- 
  

   tioned 
  a 
  creek 
  called 
  " 
  Papparinemo, 
  which 
  divides 
  York 
  island 
  

   from 
  the 
  main, 
  and 
  so 
  along 
  the 
  said 
  creek 
  or 
  kill 
  as 
  it 
  runs 
  to 
  the 
  

   Hudson's 
  river." 
  In 
  the 
  manor 
  grant 
  of 
  Fordham 
  is 
  also 
  mentioned 
  

   " 
  the 
  first 
  point 
  on 
  the 
  mainland 
  to 
  the 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  island 
  Peperi- 
  

   niman." 
  It 
  is 
  evident 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  a 
  general 
  name, 
  covering 
  other 
  

   local 
  names.
