Wynogkee, Wynachkee, and Winnakee are record forms of the name of a district of country or place from which it was extended to the stream known as the Fall Kill "Through which a kill called Wynachkee runs, . . . including the kill to the second fall called Mattapan," is the description in a gift deed to Arnout Velie, in 1680, for three flats of land, one on the north and two on the south side of the kill. "A flat on the west side of the kil, called Wynachkee" (Col. Hist. N. Y., xiii, 545, 572), does not mean that the kill was called Wynachkee, but the flat of land, to which the name itself shows that it belonged. The derivatives are _Winne,_ "good, fine, pleasant," and _-aki_ (auke, ohke), "land" or place; literally, "land." [FN] * * * * * [FN] From the root _Wulit,_ Del. From the same root _Winne, Willi, Wirri, Waure, Wule,_ etc. The name is met in equivalent forms in several places. _Wenaque_ and _Wynackie_ are forms of the name of a beautiful valley in Passaic county, N. J. (Nelson.) _Winakaki,_ "Sassifras land--rich, fat land." _Winak-aki-ng,_ "At the Sassifras place," was the Lenape name of Eastern Pennsylvania. (See Wanaksink.) Eliot wrote in the Natick (Mass.) dialect, "_Wunohke,_ good land." The general meaning of the root is pleasurable sensation. Mattapan, "the second fall," so called in the deed to Arnout Velie (1680), was the name of a "carrying place," "the end of a portage, where the canoe was launched again and its bearers reembarked." (Trumbull.) A landing place. [FN] "At a place called Matapan, to the south side thereof, bounded on the west by John Casperses Creek." (Cal. Land Papers, 108.) (See Pietawick-quasick.) * * * * * [FN] _Mattappan,_ a participle of _Mattappu,_ "he sits down," denotes "a sitting down place," or as generally employed in local names, the end of a portage between two rivers, or from one arm of the sea to another--where the canoe was launched again and its bearers reembarked. (Trumbull.) In Lenape _Aan_ is a radical meaning, "To move; to go." _Paan,_ "To come; to get to"; _Wiket-pann,_ "To get home"; _Paancep,_ "Arrived"; _Mattalan,_ "To come upto some body"; logically, _Mattappan,_ "To stop," to sit down, to land, a landing place. Minnissingh is written as the name of a tract conveyed to Peter Lansing and Jan Smedes by gift deed in 1683. (See Poughkeepsie.) _Minnissingh_ is, apparently, the same word that is met in Minnisink, Orange County. The locative of the tract has not been ascertained, but it was pretty certainly on the "back" or upper lands. There was no island there. (See Minnisink.)
