Tellico Village Street Names and Meanings
The following information is from Dr. Duane H. King, Assistant Director, National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution.
I have added some information to the list of existing street names. Please note that the town names for which no phonetic spellings were given were misidentified in English. The English offered for Chatuga, Chota and Toqua are suggested motifs consistent with the theme of the street names. For example, all the names in the Toqua community are related to water or water creatures. The Cherokee myth which is equivalent to the Jonah and the Whale story supposedly took place in the Little Tennessee River near Toqua.
Similarly other myths, motifs and themes are associated with the other communities (Chota-the Giant Hawks and Chatuga-the White Deer Spirit). The name Chatuga refers to a rock outcropping. Chatuga was an 18th century town near present day Tellico Plains. Chota, which was the capital between 1753-1788, is the anglicized version of li-tso-di-yil which means "Fire Place," in reference to the sacred fire maintained at the Chota Council House. Toqua is also a town name and the name of a legendary giant fish which lived in the river near the town site. In the translation of the Bible the word 'whale' is given as Toqua. The etymology of Sequoyah is from the words si-kwa "pig" and -yi "foot" perhaps in reference to a noticeable limp or club foot Sequoyah is said to have had. Although he devised the Cherokee writing system, he was not a chief.
The selection on the short list is a departure from the practice of using Cherokee names for streets and eliminates the uniqueness and distinction that Tellico Village has had for its communities and street names. Only two are recognizable as Cherokee. Inola is a Cherokee surname meaning "Black Fox." Tanasi is a town name and was the capital of the Cherokee Nation between 1721-1730. The word is probably of Muskhogean origin. Town names before have been reserved for communities at Tellico Village.
The following listing, originally provided by Dr. King, has been updated by the Tellico Village HomeOwners Association. Kahite street names meanings were researched by Bonnie Kuchaes.
*Note: In the listing below, TSI pronounced more like "ch" or "j" in the Eastern Cherokee Band.
