[Facts] Meaning of Uncas?
Any idea what Uncas means? I've only found two possible meanings so far -- "Bold" (1) and "Fox" (2) -- but I have no way to know which, if either, is correct.Historically, Uncas (d. 1682) was the founder of the Mohegans (3), a Native American group based in Connecticut. Many places in the area (such as Uncasville) have inherited his name. 1- http://www.quinnipiac.edu/other/ABL/etext/historictowns/historictowns.html
