Ten counties in Michigan have names created by Henry Schoolcraft, who combined Native American words with roots from Greek, Arabic, and Latin. Schoolcraft's made-up words have disputed sources. While he was a devotee of Native American words and culture, some of his words may have originated with tribes from other areas of the country, such as New York or the Northeast, from which many settlers to Michigan came from. Real Native words were eradicated, and he substituted made-up words, sometimes with a kernel of Indian language or sound in them. Below are the ten counties with names Schoolcraft has created and their meanings:
