WENHAM Is UNIQUE. 
Many observers have caled atten- 
tion to the fact that there is but a 
single Wenham in the United Sates, 
and that it is named after the Wen- 
ham in Suffolkshire, England. Ap- 
parently there are only two places of 
this name in the entire world. Now, 
atlength, the etymological significa- 
tion of the name itself becomes 
known. Wen-ham is an Anglo Sax- 
on word meaning “the home (or 
ham) on the fen or moorland.” E,vi- 
dently both Wenhams are noted for 
their meadows and low ground 
History records that the settlers of 
Wenham purchased title to their lands 
the tribe 
which had its chief seat at Ipswich 
or “Agawam.” The chief of the 
tribe was named Moschanomett or 
Mascononmo. As this man’s In- 
dian name was exchanged, at baptism, 
for the Biblical name, John, it seems 
to have been overlooked by scholars. 
Indian names are always descriptive 
and often poetical. They are worthy 
of study. The “Massachusetts” dic- 
tionay gives two words, “quanunon” 
and “mashquanon,” both signifying 
“hawk.” There are no other words 
even remotely resembling the chief’s 
name. Hence it apears that Wen- 
ham’s lands were originally deeded 
to white men by “The Hawk.”
