Maine: Meddybemps
N 41° 48.087' W 89° 15.472'
The name Meddybemps, with its assemblage of consonants and short vowels, has a distinct quality that stands out among the state’s strange town names. Like many historical place names, Meddybemps’ etymology is muddied in vague folklore — while some local tales tell of its roots in bumpy, unpaved roads (“many bumps”), it seems most likely that it is an anglicization of the Native Passamaquoddy tribe’s East Algonquian language. The anglicized version translates to “plenty of alewives,” in reference to the bountiful fish found in Meddybemps Lake.
