Almost certainly, the name Wissinoming [†] is a corruption of one of the Native-American words Quissinuminck (an early name for a branch of Frankford Creek) or Wissachgaman (a place where grapes are).
Wissinoming is a small neighborhood in Northeast Philadelphia in the State of Pennsylvania, United States of America. Most people would agree that the boundaries of Wissinoming are the Delaware River on the east and Frankford Avenue on the west. Some would put the northern boundary at Robbins Avenue, some at Levick Street. Few agree on the southern boundary which some put at Cheltenham Avenue, some at Sanger Street, and some at Bridge Street. The Philadelphia Planning Commission puts the southern boundary at Cheltenham Avenue and the northern boundary at Levick Street.
