Shawmut : ウィキペディア英語版
Shawmut
Shawmut, according to 19th-century scholarship, is a term derived from the Algonquian word ''Mashauwomuk'' referring to the region of present-day Boston, Massachusetts.〔Forsford, Eben Norton, ''The Indian names of Boston, and their meaning''
University Press, 1886.〕 It appears in a number of present-day placenames.
==Origin of the word==
It appears in print very early in the history of New England; records from 1630 note that William Blaxton was "dwelling on the other side of Charles River, alone, at a place by the Indians called Shawmutt."〔
The meaning of ''Shawmut'' is uncertain. Most explanations refer to either the salt water surrounding the peninsula, from which come explanations like "canoe landing place" or "place to ferry across", or to the springs of fresh water found within, a major inducement for the settlement of the Massachusetts Bay Colony at that site.
