Tobyhanna [1]

Concerning the significance of the names Lehigh and Tobyhanna, it is quite certain that the former was originally called Lehawhanna, the prefix Lehaw meaning the forks, while the suffix hanna denotes a stream, as for example, Susquehanna, indicating a muddy stream. As regards the word Tobyhanna, it is corrupted from Topi-hanne, meaning "alder stream."
