Passadumkeag and Mattwamkeag are names derived from Native American languages, specifically the Penobscot tribe in Maine. Passadumkeag means "the place where the river bends," while Mattwamkeag translates to "the place of the river." Both names reflect the geographical features and significance of the rivers to the indigenous peoples and their culture.

What is the American Indian meaning for the suffix keag in the name of places such as kanduskeag?

The word kanduskeag (as a river and place name) is also recorded as kenduskeag, condeskeag, conduskeagor even kenderqnit and relates to the Abenaki/Penobscot language - a member of the Algonquian language group. Local tradition says that it means "place of spearing eels", "place where eels gather", "eel weir place" or "where eels are caught", but the Penobscot word for eel is nahômo.It is clear from the different versions of the name mentioned above that settlers were not too bothered about accurately recording native place-names, but the element -keag appears in many locations in Maine: Mattawamkeag, Naskeag, Passadumkeag, Weskeag. It is likely to simply mean "place".
