Nora Thompson Dean (in Kraft and Kraft 1985:45) thought that Macanippuck sounded MAHORAS (Monmouth County). Whritenour thinks it is very likely that Mahoras is a Northern Unami word, mahales, “flint or chert.” Today, Mahoras is the name of a creek and a road that runs nearby. The creek rises just east of the Garden State Arts Center. From there, it flows north to its junction with Waackack Creek (see below) at Philips Mills. The name first appeared in several Indian deeds to lands in the area signed between 1676 and 1677. The first of these, dated February 3, 1676, mentioned “a brook called Hepkoyack or Mohoras” (New Jersey Archives, Liber 1:257[82]256[83] on verso). In the second, dated September 29, 1676, “the chief Sachems of Wromasung & Machayis” sold a tract that included “a run or swamp called Mohorhes” (Monmouth County Records, Deed Book B:33-35). The last of these deeds, dated August 10, 1677, mentioned a place called Mohoreas (New Jersey Archives, Liber 1:105). The name has been on maps of the area since that time. MANAHAWKIN (Ocean County). Whritenour thinks that the earliest attested form of Manahawkin, noted as Manahohaky, sounds like a Southern Unami word, *manàxehàki, “wood cutting land.” The community of Manahawkin lies at the outlet of Manahawkin Lake on the banks of Mill Creek several miles inland across the City of Lakehurst, first appeared at its present location as Mama70 paqua Brook in 1765 (Zinkin 1976:116). MANASQUAN (Monmouth County). Nora Thompson Dean (in Kraft and Kraft 1985:45) thought that Manasquan sounded much like a Southern Unami word, mënàskung, “place to gather grass,” rendered as mënàskunk, “place to gather grass or reeds,” in the Lenape Talking Dictionary (Lenape Language Preservation Project 2011). Whritenour thinks it may mean “stream or place of the second crop,” from the Northern Unami words manaskw, “second crop,” -an, “stream,” and -ung, “place of.” Manasquan currently is the name of a river, a reservoir, an inlet, a borough, and several other places in the area. The Manasquan River is a 27-mile-long stream that flows through several townships before it widens into the tidal Manasquan Inlet estuary connected to the sea by a canal cut across the barrier beach separating the New Jersey mainland from the Atlantic Ocean. The stream’s many tributaries shown on the 1781 Hills map include Papequeakhockque Brook, today’s Debois Creek; and outer coastal plains. The 20-mile-long North Branch of the Metedeconk River, running from its headwaters down to a point a little less than two miles above its junction with the river’s South Branch at Forge Pond, forms the boundary between Monmouth and Ocean counties. The conjoined waters of the main stem of the Metedeconk River below this junction then run into the mile-wide Metedeconk Inlet. The hamlet of Metedeconk is located on a narrow peninsula on the northern shore of Metedeconk Inlet just across from Metedeconk Neck. The name’s initial recorded form, Memeocameke, was mentioned as a locale included in land sold by the sachems of Ramenesing (see below) on June 18, 1675 (New Jersey Archives, Liber 1:290[49]-289[50] on verso). A stream identified as the Matedecunk River was noted in a deed to land at the mouth of the modern-day Metedeconk River dated September 3, 1694 (State of New Jersey 1880-1949 21:234). The name then appeared as a tract called Maticonke in a February 12, 1698, Indian deed to land around the Metedeconk River’s headwaters (New Jersey Archives. Liber AAA:69). Never absent from local maps, the name has bounced around a bit among the municipalities lining the stream’s shores Management Area past Nantuxent Point into Delaware Bay at Nantuxent Cove. NARRATICON (Gloucester County). Narraticon was among the Beyond Manhattan, Robert S. Grumet first Delaware place names documented in present-day southern New Jersey, appearing in some of the earliest Dutch maps of the region drafted during the 1630s (cf. Stokes 1915-1928 1: Color Plate 3, 39-40). English colonists subsequently noted that “Usquata sachem or prince of Narrattacus” was one of the Indians who sold land on the east bank of the Delaware River between today’s Raccoon Creek and Cape May to the colony of New Sweden in April 1641 (in A. Johnson 1925:209). Swedish cartographer Lindeström noted a stream he called the Narraticons
