I am not convinced that it is anything in Algonquin - and since it is two words (Wana luna) and the name of a Golf course in North Carolina, it can not be Algonquin (that tribe lived entirely in Canada).

It would have to be Catawba or one of their close neighbours, if it is not simply an invented name based on Latin Luna = the moon. Catawba is not an Algonquian language, but Siouan. I can find nothing like Wana luna in that language.

Algonquin refers to a group of Native American tribes primarily located in the northeastern United States and eastern Canada. The term can also refer to the Algonquian language family spoken by these tribes.

City in Illinois whose name comes from an Algonquin word meaning garlic Field?

No city in Illinois has a name from Algonquin - that language is only spoken by the Algonquin tribe of Canada. Chicago is named from the Miami (not Algonquin) word chicagoua, meaning the wild native garlic plant (Allium tricoccum) - there is nothing in the word that represents "field", so it definitely does not mean "garlic field", simply "wild garlic".It is claimed that the Miami word also signifies "skunk", but this is given as shikakwa in modern sources.
