"Paumanok" meaning in All languages combined

See Paumanok on Wiktionary

Proper name [English]

Etymology: From an Algonquian name for the area. First recorded on May 3, 1639, in a deed between Lion Gardiner and "Yovawan, Sachem of Pommanocc". Thereafter variously spelled Pamunke (1648), Pammanack (1656), Pawmanack (1658), Paumanuck and Paumanche (1659), and Pommanock (1665), and later Paumanack and Pomonok (preserved as the name of a neighborhood in Flushing in Queens); and then popularized in the spelling Paumanok by Walt Whitman. The precise origin of the name is not entirely clear, but the source language has been suggested to be Lenape (Munsee), and the first element has been suggested to be related to Massachusett pummunnum (“s/he gives away; offers, devotes”), paumpaummunum (“s/he offers it habitually or by custom”), and Narragansett pummenum- (“contribute”), with the final element probably a locative, making the name "land of tribute" (which had to pay tribute, or where wampum shells for paying tribute were obtained).
