In the Natick language spoken by the Massachusetts, Narragansetts, Niantics and neighbouring tribes, the general term for any god is manit, plural manittowock.

This is derived from the prefix m' (something) plus anit (above or more than).

More specifically, 37 different named gods were recognised in the Natick language, including "the great south west god", "the western god", "the woman's god", "the house god", the sea god", "the children's god" and "the fire god".
