Orange, a familiar name in eastern New Jersey and supposed to refer to the two mountains that bound the Raritan Valley, may have been from the name of a sachem or place or both. In Breeden Raedt it is written: "The delegates from all the savage tribes, such as the Raritans, whose chiefs called themselves Oringkes from Orange." _Oringkes_ seems to be a form of _Owinickes,_ from _Owini,_ N. J. (_Inini,_ Chip., _Lenni,_ Del.), meaning "Original, pure," etc., and _-ke,_ "country"--literally, "First or original people of the country," an interpretation which agrees with the claim of the Indians generally when speaking of themselves. [FN] _Orange_ is _Oranje,_ Dutch, pure and simple, but evidently introduced to represent the sound of an Indian word. What that word was may, probably, be traced from the name given as that of the sachem, _Auronge_ (Treaty of 1645), which seems to be an apheresis of _W'scha-já-won-ge,_ "On the hill side," or "On the side of a hill." (Zeisb.) Awonge, Auronge, Oranje, Orange, is an intelligible progression, and, in connection with "from Orange," indicates the location of a village or the side of a hill, which the chiefs represented. * * * * * [FN] Dr. D. G. Brinton wrote me "I believe you are right in identifying _Oringkes_ with _Owine_--possibly with locative _k._" Succasunna, Morris County, N. J., is probably from _Sûkeu,_ "Black," and _-achsün,_ "Stone," with substantive verbal affix _-ni._ It seems to describe a place where there were black stones, but whether there are black stones there or not has not been ascertained. Aquackanonck, Aquenonga, Aquainnuck, etc.. is probably from _Achquam'kan-ong,_ "Bushnet fishing place." Zeisberger wrote "_Achquanican,_ a fish dam." The locative was a point of land formed by a bend in Pasaeck River on the east side, now included in the City of Paterson. Jasper Bankers and Peter Sluyter wrote, in 1679-80: "Acquakenon: on one side is the kil, on the other is a small stream by which it (the point) is almost surrounded." The Dutch wrote here, _Slooterdam,_ _i. e._ a dam with a gate or sluiceway in it, probably constructed of stone, the sluiceway being left open to enable shad to run up the stream, and closed by bushes to prevent their return to the sea. (Nelson.) Watchung (Wacht-unk, Del.) is from _Wachtschu_ (Zeisb.), "Hill or mountain," and _-unk,_ locative, "at" or "on." _Wachtsûnk,_ "On the mountain" (Zeisb.); otherwise written _Wakhunk._ The original application was to a hill some twelve miles west of the Hudson. The first deed (1667) placed the boundmark of the tract "At the foot of the great mountain," and the second deed (1677) extended the limit "To the top of the mountain called Watchung."
