• Roanoke: Algonquian for "shell money" (Indian tribes often used shells
that were made into beads called wampum, as money).InfoPlease,
"Many different types of plants, metals and animals were used by these
Indians as trade goods, but none was more important than wampum,
also called roanoke, peak, marginalia and minfel... The Algonquian
word roanoke is translated to mean: to rub, abrade, smooth or polish (as
in making roanoke, peak or wampum beads: Quinn 1955). John Lawson
defined the word roanoke as meaning money. Stefan Lorant believes the
name is a corruption of the Indian word 'Ohanoak' (see important Indian
Village name related to survivors of the 1587 “Lost Colony”). Haag has
suggested that the name was not related to the word wampum but
meant 'Northern people.' The overwhelming academic preponderance
suggests that this word is analogous to money. Lost-Colony.com
