pokelogan

• pokeloken, pocologan (dated)

Uncertain. Often suggested to be from an Algonquian language. Perhaps related to pocosin.

Early spellings like Pokee Login and Pocologan (found especially in place names) suggest the four-syllable pronunciation is older.

• IPA^(key): /ˈpoʊkˌloʊɡən/, (older, sometimes) /ˌpoʊkəˈloʊɡən/
