Mahomet, Illinois, was named after the nearby Mahomet River, which itself was named after a Native American word thought to mean "the place where the water flows." The village was established in the 1830s and was originally called "Mahomet's Grove" before being shortened to Mahomet. The name reflects the area's natural features and its early settlement history.
