"Machias" is derived from the Native American Passamaquoddy language, meaning "bad water" or "a place where the water is bad." It is often associated with the Machias River in Maine and the town of Machias, which is located near the river's mouth. The name reflects the area's geographical and environmental characteristics as understood by its Indigenous inhabitants.
