Oneida
names are used by the Oneida people of New York, Wisconsin and Ontario.
Onangwatgo m Oneida (Anglicized)Means
"big medicine" in Oneida, from
onúhkwaht "medicine" and the suffix
-koó "big, great". This was the name of a chief of the Oneida people, also named Cornelius Hill (1834-1907).
Shenandoah m Oneida (Anglicized)Variant of
Skenandoa, or from the name of the Shenandoah River (names that may or may not be connected). The traditional American folk song
Oh Shenandoah may refer to the Oneida chief Skenandoa or to the river; it is unclear.
Skenandoa m Oneida (Anglicized)Possibly from Oneida
oskanutú meaning
"deer". This was the name of an 18th-century Oneida chief. According to some sources the Shenandoah River in Virginia was named after him, though the river seems to have borne this name from before his birth. It is possible that he was named after the river, or that the similarity in spellings is a coincidence.
