The Meaning of Sunsquam
I believe I have found out the meaning of the name Sunsquam, as I wondered in my previous post. Note the following translations of Algonquin words:
Squam: Pleasant Water Place
Sunapee: Rocky Pond
Suncook: Rocky Point
So from there is it not a far reach to say Sunsquam means something like "Rocky Pleasant Water Place" in Algonquin.
