Being of Iroquoian origin, one of the earliest forms of this plat-e- name is that in the Jesuit Relation for 1641, in which it is written Oixjuiaalird, evidently a misjirint for Oiigninahra, and it is there made the name of a Neutral town and of the river whirh to-day bears this designation, although Ongmuralironon of the Jesuit Relation for the year 1640 ap- pears to be a misi:)rint for OiigniaraJironou, signifying 'people of Ongniarah.' The Iroquois and their congeners applied it to the place whereon the village of Youngs- town, Niagara co., N. Y., now stands. On the Tabula Nov;* Franci;e, in Historian , sev Novtv-Francite (bk. 10, Paris, 1664, but made in 1660 by Francis- cus Creuxius, 8. J.), the falls of Niagara are called "Ougiara ; Much ingenuity has been exercised in attempts to analyze this name. The most probable derivation, however, is from the Iroquoian sentence-word, which in Onondaga and Seneca becomes O'lniid'ga', and in Tusca- rora [/^7/»/a'Ao'/', signifying 'bisected bot- tom-land.' Its first use was perhaps by the Neutral or Huron tribes. (,r. n. b. h.) Niagara.
