! NameIt is common for aboriginal place names to remain in English. [https://www.jstor.org/stable/40316196 Cruikshank, Julie (1990) "Getting the Words Right: Perspectives on Naming and Places in Athapaskan Oral History." 27 Arctic Anthropology (No. 1) 52, 63.] ("[2] Names can persist. Place names ... are words which can be isolated, recorded, understood and learned by a non-speaker of the language and they can remain in English versions ...").] However, in order to represent aboriginal place names in writing, the pronunciations of these names had to be conformed to English phonology. The aboriginal languages had no written alphabet. [https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=aeu.ark:/13960/t4xh03z07;view=1up;seq=8 Glave, Edward J. (1892). "Pioneer Packhorses in Alaska – 1." 44 Century Magazine 673 (September 1892).] Furthermore, they had about 12 sounds that do not occur in English. Therefore, there were no symbols which corresponded to these non-English sounds. If the aboriginal place names were to be preserved in writing, the pronunciations had to be conformed to English sounds. An example of a sound which does not occur in English is the initial consonant in the word Tlingit. It is a lateral sound, which means that it is made to the side of the tongue. Begin by holding the tip of the tongue against the roof of the mouth, as you would when you begin to pronounce a "d" or "t" sound. Then drop a side of the tongue and make a "thl" sound on that side. In addition, aboriginal place names usually describe some prominent characteristic of the place. See, Cruikshank (1990) "Getting the Words Right," at page 63 ("[3] Names provide a unique way of encoding information. Many of the names reflect changes in landscape or in movements of plants and animals."). Descriptive place names were needed as a tool to guide the traveler. See, {{cite book|title=The Kohklux Map|author=Davidson, George|publisher=Yukon Historical & Museums Assn.|year=1883}}, at page 25. The aboriginal traveler had to commit to memory only the description of a place, and no additional arbitrary name. This was of assistance, because the aboriginal languages had not been reduced to writing prior to the arrival of the English or Russian language. As a consequence of having access only to information that could be remembered, people in the pre-1900 aboriginal societies had to deal with the world quite differently from people today.

- Klondike was derived from the Hän idiom Tr'o Ndek, which figuratively means hammer river.[https://books.google.com/books?id=3xoDAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA30 Ogilvie, William. "Geography and Resources of the Yukon River." 12 The Geographical Journal, No. 1 (July 1898), at pp. 21, 30] ("means Hammer creek ... they used to erect barriers across the mouth to catch salmon by hammering sticks ...").

But, see, {{cite book|title=Native American Placenames in the United States|author=Bright|year=2007}}, at page 229, which reports that Mr. Ritter later opined that tʼro is a Hän form of hammer which "no longer occurs in isolation." This is certainly possible; however, idioms occur frequently in all languages. In addition, the conflicting translations of Klondike are explained by differing attempts to abbreviate the meaning of an idiom. See, 14 Dawson Daily News, No. 59 (Oct. 7, 1912), and {{cite book|title=Prelude to Bonanza|url=https://archive.org/details/preludetobonanza0000wrig|url-access=registration|author=Wright|year=1976|isbn=9780888260628}}, both cited above. Therefore, Tr'o Ndek appears more likely to be an idiom in which tʼro is a shortened form of the Hän word trʼojà' (Chinook salmon). The reason for the figurative meaning is that hammers had been used to erect fishing weirs in the Klondike River, in order to catch the Chinook salmon.

Tlingit had fewer adjectives than other languages. Id. at page 14 (a very small category in Tlingit). This shortage of adjectives occasionally necessitated the use of substitute lexical items, such as metaphors. Sometime after Tutshi Lake had acquired its name, the word t’ooch’ did evolve also to be a standard adjective meaning black. If t’ooch’ had been an adjective meaning black at the time that the lake acquired its name, then the name would not have needed the possession suffix (-i).

English, of course, has no nasalized vowels. In the 1840s, different tribes had different opinions as to the literal meaning of Yukon. In 1843, the Holikachuks had told the Russian-American Company that their name for the river was Yukkhana and that this name meant "big river.""[The Yukon] in the language of the Kang-ulit (Yup'ik) people is Kvikhpak; in the dialect of the downriver Inkilik (Holikachuk), Yukkhana; of those upriver (Koyukon), Yuna.

Zagoskin's Note 63 (1848), translated in, {{cite book|title=Lieutenant Zagoskin's Travels|author=Zagoskin |editor=Michael|year=1967}}, at page 295. Zagoskin did not come into contact with the Gwichʼin Indians and had no access to the information that Yukon means white water river in Gwichʼin – the language from which the word came. However, Yukkhana does not literally correspond to a Holikachuk phrase that means big river.In Holikachuk, big river or big water would be xinmiksekh, xinchux, toomiksekh, or toochux. {{cite book|url=https://uafanlc.alaska.edu/Online/HO975K1978c/HO975K1978c.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211212144416/https://uafanlc.alaska.edu/Online/HO975K1978c/HO975K1978c.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 12, 2021|title=Holikachuk Noun Dictionary|author=Kari, James|display-authors=etal|page=19 (xin [river], too [water])|publisher=Univ. of Alaska Fairbanks|year=1978|access-date=2017-10-16}}; {{cite book|title=Lieutenant Zagoskin's Travels|author=Zagoskin |editor=Michael|year=1967}}, at page 309 (Inkilik proper [Holikachuk] tu [water], miksekh [large]); {{cite book|url=http://faculty.washington.edu/sharon/Vowel_quality_and_duration_in_Deg_Xinag.pdf|title=Vowel quality and duration in Deg Xinag|page=29 (note 33: Holikachuk chux [big])|author=Hargus, Sharon|publisher=Univ. of Washington|year=2008|access-date=2017-10-16}} Adjectives followed the nouns that they modified in Holikachuk.Thirty-nine pages of cited "Sources," representing over a century of research, did not verify Zagoskin's report that Yukon means big river. {{cite book|title=Dictionary of Alaska Place Names|url=https://archive.org/details/bub_gb_0y48AQAAMAAJ|author=Orth|year=1967}}, at pp. 6-44 ("Sources of Names"), 1069 ("The Eskimo ... descriptively called it 'Kuikpak' meaning 'big river.' The Indian name 'Yukon' probably means the same thing."). Orth does not say "probably" when discussing Kuikpak{{'s}} meaning. Orth's use of "probably" is limited to the discussion of Yukon{{'s}} meaning, which indicates that Zagoskin's report that Yukon means big river was never verified. In addition, Orth's "Sources" do not even include the Hudson's Bay Company correspondence, which states that Yukon means white water river in Gwichʼin. Nor do Orth's "Sources" include aboriginal dictionaries. Then, two years later, the Gwichʼins told the Hudson's Bay Company that their name for the river was Yukon and that the name meant white water river. White water river in fact corresponds to Gwichʼin words that can be shortened to form Yukon. Because the Holikachuks had been trading regularly with both the Gwichʼins and the Yup'iks,Lt. Zagoskin reported that: "The ... Inkilit [Holikachuk] ... live along the routes of communication between the Yukon and the coast and are occupied almost exclusively with buying up furs from the natives living along the Yunnaka (Koyukuk River, a Yukon tributary)." Zagoskin also reported that: "The Inkalik [Holikachuk] ..., who are chiefly occupied in trading both with their fellow tribesmen and with the neighboring tribes of Kang-ulit (Yup'ik), have adopted the way of life of the latter ..." {{cite book|title=Lieutenant Zagoskin's Travels|author=Zagoskin |editor=Michael|year=1967}}, at pp. 196-97, 244. Because they had adopted the Yup'ik (Eskimo) way of life, and because they were the ones trading upriver, the Holikachuk would have been "the Esquimaux" referred to in John Bell's 1845 report: "The Esquimaux to the westwards likewise ascends the 'Youcon' and carry on a trade with the natives, as well as with the Musquash [Gwichʼin] Indians ... I have seen a large camp of the latter tribe on the Rat River on my return, who, had about a doz: of beat [hammered] Iron Kettles of Russian Manufacture which they bartered from the Esquimaux." See, Hudson's Bay Company Correspondence to Simpson from Bell (1845), [https://www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/hbca/ HBC Archives], D.5/14, fos. 212, 213. For these reasons, the Holikachuk were in a position to conflate the meanings of the Gwichʼin and Yup'ik names, and to furnish this conflated information to the Russian-American Company. the Holikachuks were in a position to borrow the Gwichʼin contraction and to conflate its meaning with the meaning of Kuig-pak [River-big], which is the Yup'ik name for the same river. For that reason, the documentary evidence suggests that the Holikachuks had borrowed the contraction Ųųg Han [White Water River] from Gwichʼin, and erroneously assumed that this contraction had the same literal meaning as the corresponding Yup'ik name Kuig-pak [River-big].

- "Tarahne" was directly derived from Tarahini, which was the name of a little creek at Atlin. The name Tarahini was suggested to the ship's carpenter by Chief Taku Jack (John Jack, Sr.). Previously, Tarahini had been derived from the Tlingit phrase té yaa .aa hini, which means stream sitting along rock.[http://yukon.minisisinc.com Taku, John, Jr. "Johnny Taku Jack" (Nov. 3, 1978 interview).

Té yaa .aa héeni = té [rock] + yaa [along] + .aa [sitting] + héen [stream water] + -i [possession suffix]. See, {{cite book|url= http://www.sealaskaheritage.org/sites/default/files/Tlingit_dictionary_web.pdf|title=Dictionary of Tlingit|pages=16, 118, 235, 312, 328|author=Edwards|year=2009|access-date=2015-09-14}} Note that without an adjacent verb classifier, a Tlingit verb root (e.g., .aa) will become a gerund (verbal noun). See, Id. at page 328 ( | .áa | [without classifier] = sitting [gerund]). Tarahini had been derived by eliminating yaa and by substituting the English \ra\ sound for the Tlingit aspirated \.aa\ sound. Thus, all vocal sounds in Tarahini occur in English. The reason for the subsequent change from Tarahini to "Tarahne" is not known.

- Neecheah was derived from the Tlingit phrase neech yeil’, which means calm shoreline.{{cite book|url= http://www.sealaskaheritage.org/sites/default/files/Tlingit_dictionary_web.pdf|title=Dictionary of Tlingit|pages=192 (neech [shoreline]), 324 (yeil [calm])|author=Edwards|year=2009|access-date=2015-09-14}}; {{cite book|title=The Survivors: The True Stories of Four B.Y.N. Ships that Survived Fire, Flood and Decades of Gruelling Travel on Yukon's Lakes and Rivers|author=Ellis, Patricia|publisher=MacBride Museum of Yukon History|year=2011|isbn=978-0-9867649-2-9}}, at page 42 ("calm water"). Technically, yeil’ [calm] is a gerund which is inalienable. Thus, yeil’ [the calm] is “possessed” by the preceding noun, neech [shoreline]. Also, the Tlingit \l’\ does not sound like an English \l\. The Tlingit \l’\ tongue position is the same as in the English \l\. But, the Tlingit \l’\ sound is a puff over the side of the tongue, instead of a sound made by the vocal cords. This name appears to be a Tlingit language description of the Yukon River just downstream of Whitehorse Rapids,See, {{cite book|title=Gold Rush Steamboats|author=Motherwell|year=2012}}, at page 62 ("At the exit from the White Horse Rapid the river turned abruptly to the right and slackened to become a quiet stream ..."). which is grammatically correct, but does not pre-date 1900. Neecheah [Neech Yeil’] appears to be a short Tlingit language description of Whitehorse that was created in 1922 to name the boat.Proving a negative is always difficult, but circumstantial evidence suggests that the name Neech Yeil’ did not pre-date 1900. Prior to October 1899, there had been no Whitehorse for anyone to name. {{cite book|title=Edge of the River, Heart of the City: A History of the Whitehorse Waterfront|author1-last=Dobrowolsky|author1-first=Helene|author2-last=Ingram|author2-first=Rob|publisher=Lost Moose Publishing|year=1994|isbn=0-9694612-2-4}}, at page 8. In addition, there is no Tlingit name for Whitehorse set forth either in {{cite book|title=Place-Names of the Tagish Region, Southern Yukon|author=Sidney|year=1980}}; or in {{cite book|title=My Old People Say: An Ethnographic Survey of Southern Yukon Territory|author=McClellan, Catharine|publisher=National Museums of Canada|year=1975|isbn=978-0226564371}} For these reasons, it appears that the name Neecheah [Neech Yeil’] was created in order to name the boat with a short Tlingit language description of Whitehorse. Prior to October 1899, Whitehorse itself had not existed, and there had been no reason for the Indians to give its future location a name.

Hensley.The identity of Kittie M. Hensley's ex-husband is not certain. The most likely person is William A. Hensley from Iowa. Kittie is listed in the 1901 Canada Census at Dawson City, married, but not living with her husband. She is listed in the 1910 U.S. Census at Fairbanks, divorced, and with a 5-year-old daughter named Hazel K. Hensley. Hazel's father had been born in Iowa. Assuming this census information to be correct, Kittie's erstwhile husband was named Hensley and had been born in Iowa. The only Iowa-born Hensley in Kittie's area at the time was William A. Hensley, born in 1858 at Iconium, Iowa, and listed in the 1900 U.S. Census at the Fortymile District (near the Canadian border). Furthermore, according to http://www.yukongenealogy.com/ (Feb. 8, 2019, posted by the Yukon Archives), a "W. A. Hensley" from Iconium, Iowa had entered Canada at the Chilkoot Checkpoint in 1899 and resided in Dawson City. For these reasons, William A. Hensley is the most likely person to have been Kittie's former husband. It has been reported on an ancestry.com message board that Kittie's husband was a "G. Newton Hensley." However, there is no record of a "Newton Hensley" born in Iowa and/or located in Alaska or the Yukon in 1900 or 1901. William A. Hensley remains Kittie's most likely erstwhile husband. Left to Hensley's ex-wife, Kittie M. Hensley, by 1907. Wrecked by ice in the Upper Tanana River in the spring of 1914. Superstructure salvaged to make additions to the Hensley residence at Fairbanks, Alaska in 1914. Ms. Hensley died in 1931. Hensley residence moved to Pioneer Park at Fairbanks in 1967. Hull out of documentation, 1914 to 1938. Hull owned by George S. Black and rebuilt into a barge in 1938. Foundered on the Yukon River near Galena, Alaska, in 1952.

- Tagish was derived from the Tagish phrase taa-gish, which means breakup of ice.See, {{cite book|title=Place-Names of the Tagish Region, Southern Yukon|author=Sidney|year=1980}}, Entry No. 54 (Tagish Narrows = Taagish Tóo'e [breakup [of ice, e.g.] - water]).

Gish may have been a loanword from Tlingit. The Tlingit verb root geesh is an idiom, which figuratively means to get wet, and literally means to be like kelp.

Naish|name-list-style=amp|publisher=University of Alaska|year=1973|access-date=2017-10-16}} Broken up spring ice does get wet. The suffix -e may be the Tagish possession suffix.
