==Etymology==
The name is derived from a Shuswap language word, either "spil-a-mi-shine" meaning "flat mouth", or "spal-lum-shin" meaning "meadow flat". Another word, ''spalmtsin'', which has an Okanagan language cognate ''spelemtsin'', means "flat area along edge". Other variations include ''Spellmacheen'' and ''Spallamcheen'', which were the original names used for the Shuswap River, which exits the Shuswap Highland in this area and heads north to Mara and Shuswap Lakes. The same word is the source of the mame of the Spillimacheen River and the settlement of the same name in the Columbia Valley.〔Geological Survey of Canada Report 1877-78, by G.M. Dawson〕〔Claudet's Report of his trip to Cherry Creek in 1867, refers to the river as "Spellmacheen". (12th Report of the Geographic Board of Canada, 1948, citing G.M. Dawson's 1877-78 Geological Survey Report, p.27B〕〔Dawson, "Shuswap", 43; Ok, 6:136-138, 10:66).〕〔Akrigg, Helen B. and Akrigg, G.P.V; British Columbia Place Names; Sono Nis Press, Victoria 1986 /or University of British Columbia Press 1997〕
