Parramatta has been defined as meaning a kind of dress fabric, head of river or waters, and place where eels lie down. It's the name of the second oldest settlement in Australia. The city's official website gives the last as the accepted definition. It makes sense. For the river of the same name is nearby. And the popular Rugby team from the area was called the Eels.
