Best Answer

It is usually written Poosepatuck and refers to part of the Unkechaug (W'nalātchtko) tribe of Long Island. The -uckending indicates a place name and Poosepatuck is likely to be the name of a village rather than the name of the people.

Sadly the meaning of the name is not recorded.

One possibility would be puhpuhkaguk, meaning "at the hollow".
