From Wikipedia: The name of the town Wawa is derived from the Ojibwe word for the Canada goose (taken from The Song of Hiawatha). The company is owned by a family named Woods, one of the largest privately owned companies in this country. Really interesting story, sounds a lot like the Morse story.
Indian names are very unusual - we sold our northern home to a couple from Ho-Ho-Kus and when I saw that on the purchase order I thought it was a joke until I researched the name and found that the median price of a home in Ho-Ho-Kus is $1M.
