Manhattan

Etymology
From the earlier form Manna-hata recorded by travelers and settlers, from its name in, the local Algonquian language. That name is usually taken to be a compound of or  (compare 🇨🇬) and another element.

Based on a report by Anthony Heckewelder that the name Manhattan derives from the wooded area whose trees were suitable for making bows, Goddard explains the early forms Manna-hatta(n) and Mannahachtink as spellings of manaháhtaan "place for gathering the wood to make bows" and a related locative form manaháhteenk. compound of Munsee manah- (gather) + -aht (bow) + -aan (place).
