Is this equivalent to folk etymologies - such as sparrow grass for asparagus ?

So if there were a Native American name for a place that had parts that

looked vaguely English and was re-interpreted in an English way, would this be an example ?

In Chinese dialects you often find placenames whose MEANING and

not only phonology are totally different in dialect from those of the

characters used to write them in the "standard" (?) language. This is

more complicated than "Avenue of the Americas" in Manhattan being called

"Sixth Avenue".
