QUIN ti kut. I learned from my high school History teacher. I don't know if he was correct,but, when you are in school you assume your teacher is correct.
Type of Name:
Thames River from the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean
Language:
Mohican/Algonquin Indian
Alternate Spelling(s):
Quonehtacut
Meaning:
Long tidal river
Additional Information:
This name was the name the Algonquins gave the Connecticut area because of the tides of the Thames River, which they migrated to from the Hudson river area in New York. The Pequot Indians Migrated up the Thames river as well. As history has it, The end of the Thames River was where Chief Uncas Made his famous leap, thus the name later given to the falls was Indian Leap.
