What language does the name Rykan come from and what does it mean?

How do you say Big in seneca Indian language?
The Seneca language, like many native American languages, uses verb forms more often than simple adjectives. Instead of "big" you say "it is big" - gowanâh. This also means great or important, as in nadi gowanâs = the great ones (chiefs).
This is clearly closely connected to the equivalent Cayuga word for "it is big" - gowanęh

What is the native American translation for the word Massachusetts?
The name of the state of Massachussetts derives originally from the native people of that region, now called the Massachusett tribe. Their language is called Natick and the name consists of 4 elements:
- misshe (great, large, big
- wadchu (mountain or hill)
- -s- (diminutive)
- -ut (locative)
This was therefore originally said misshewadchusut, meaning at the big hill (country) and was a local place name for a specific locality and community - not the name of a state. Early European explorers mangled this into Massachusett and then Massachusetts.
