Q
_TICONDEROGA_
Ticonderoga, familiar as the name of the historic fortress at Lake
George, was written by Sir William Johnson, in 1756, Tionderogue
and Ticonderoro, and in grant of lands in 1760, “near the fort at
Ticonderoga.” Gov. Colden wrote Ticontarogen, and an Iroquoian
sachem is credited with Decariaderoga. Interpretations are
almost as numerous as orthographies. The most generally quoted
is from Spofford’s Gazetter: “Ticonderoga, from Tsindrosie, or
Cheonderoga, signifying ‘brawling water,’ and the French name,
Carillon, signifying ‘a chime of bells,’ were both suggested by
the rapids upon the outlet of Lake George.” The French name may
have been so suggested, but neither Tsindrosie or Cheonderoga
means “brawling water.” The latter is probably an orthography of
Teonderoga. Ticonderoga as now written, is from Te or Ti, “dual,”
two; Kaniatare, “lake,” and -ogen, “intervallum, divisionem”
(Bruyas), the combination meaning, literally “Between two lakes.”
Horatio Hale wrote me of one of the forms “Dekariaderage, in modern
orthography, Tekaniataroken, from which Ticonderoga, means, simple
‘Between two lakes.’ It is derived from Tioken, ‘between,’ and
Kaniatara, ‘lake.’ Its composition illustrates a peculiar idiom
of the Iroquoian language. Tioken when combined with a noun,
is split in two, so to speak, and the noun inserted. Thus in
combining Tioken with Oneonte, ‘mountain,’ we have Ti-ononte-oken,
‘Between two mountains,’ which was the name of one of the Mohawk
castles--sometimes written Theonondioga. In like manner, Kaniatare,
‘lake,’ thus compounded, yields Te-kaniatare-oken, ‘Between two
lakes.’ In the Huron dialect Kiniatare is contracted to Yontare
or Ontare, from which, with io or iyo, ‘great,’ we get Ontario
(pronounced Ontareeyo), ‘Great lake,’ which combined with Tioken,
becomes Tionteroken, which would seem to be the original of
Colden’s Ticonderoga.”
