Satuit

Satuit is a Native American Wampanoag word meaning "cold brook" (salt, cold stream?).^[1] The town of Scituate, a seacoast town in Plymouth County, Massachusetts, United States, on the South Shore, midway between Boston and Plymouth, derived its name from this word.^[2] Satuit changed name to Scituate in 1640.^[3] The Wampanoag Indians inhabited the area and were referring to a brook by that name which runs into the inner harbour at what is now called Scituate.^[4] Seteat was an alternative Indian spelling of Satuit.^[5] Satuit Brook still flows into the head of the harbour, at the southern end of front street next to Bank of America. There is a locating marker on the south side of the road.^[6]

More recently Satuit has been incorporated in the name of several businesses located in the greater Boston area.
