Gnadenhütten
Gnadenhütten (), the name of settlements〔"'Gnade' (German for grace); a word with which the names of many places founded by the Moravians begin", ''Encyclopædia Americana'', 1831 ()〕 founded by the German Moravian Church. The word was transliterated as ''Canatanheat'' by the missionary John Brainerd in his account.〔( Thomas Brainerd, John Brainerd: ''The Life of John Brainerd: The Brother of David Brainerd, and His Successor as Missionary to the Indians of New Jersey ...'' ), Presbyterian Publication Committee, 1865, p.197.

The proper German spelling without the umlaut ü is ''Gnadenhuetten''. American usage settled for ''Gnadenhutten'', even though 19th century sources had used the umlaut.
Two settlements in the North American colonies were named Gnadenhutten. Each suffered massacres, called the Gnadenhütten massacre:
* Gnadenhütten, Pennsylvania, in 1755 during the Seven Years' War (called the French and Indian War in the US)
* Gnadenhütten, Ohio, in 1782 during the American Revolutionary War
