The name Nodaway looks like it derives from a reflex in one or another
Algonquian language of Proto-Algonquian *na:tawe:wa 'massasauga', the source of the
name Nottoway for the Northern Iroquoian people of southeastern Virginia.
Frank Siebert did an article on the word in the Winter 1996 issue of
Anthropological Linguistics.
