  Lenapehoking - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Lenapehoking is a term ascribed to the Lenape Native Americans as the name in the Algonquian language of the region they inhabited along the East Coast of the United States.
According to some scholars, such as Nora Dean Thompson, the Lenape called this territory "Lenapehoking", meaning "the place where the Lenape dwell." This assertion has gained widespread acceptance and is found widely in recent literature on the Lenape, including in the websites of the Lenape people.
Ray Whritenour, a controversial linguist, asserts however that the term does not appear in any sources from the 18th century, however, but is a modern fabrication created by Thompson in the late 20th century.

Lenape is a word in the Unami dialect whose most literal translation into American English would be, "the people." (The common schoolbook term, Lenni-Lenapi is not correct, but translates as, "the original people").
The Lenape names for the area they inhabited were Scheyischbi, which means, "the place bordering the ocean," and Lenapehoking, meaning "place where the people live," although the latter is not universally accepted as historical.
