覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
固有名なので通常 Allegheny と大文字で書く。単独の地域名だけでなく、Allegheny River、Allegheny Mountains、Allegheny County のように地理名の前に置かれる。まず川の名として使われ、周辺の山地や地域へ広がった名前と捉えると、米国東部、特にペンシルベニア州との結び付きが定着する。
Always capitalize Allegheny because it is a proper geographical name. Anchor it on a map of the eastern United States, especially Pennsylvania, and learn it through complete place-names: the Allegheny River, the Allegheny Mountains, and Allegheny County. The name was first associated with a river and was later extended to nearby landforms and communities, so one river can serve as the center of your memory picture. Pay close attention to the spelling sequence -gheny. The shorter variant Allegany occurs in some official names, but it should not automatically replace Allegheny.

語源は北米先住民のデラウェア語系とされ、Unami の Alikehane に由来する説が有力です。-hane は「川」、前半は「動く・進む」に関わる要素で、まず川の名があり、そこから山地名にも広がりました。関連語は Allegany, Alleghenian。
Allegheny is generally traced to an Indigenous name from the Delaware, or Lenape, language tradition, recorded by Europeans in several spellings. Its exact original analysis is not completely certain, though explanations often connect part of the form with a river and movement or flowing. The name was applied first to the Allegheny River and then extended to mountains, counties, towns, and other features in the surrounding region. Variant spellings, including Allegany, became established in some official place-names.
