Meaning & History

This is the name of a North American river which flows through western New York and Pennsylvania. Numerous U.S. towns and counties are named after the river. Genesee is a corruption of Chin-u-shio, the indigenous Seneca tribe's name for the river valley, originally Čunehstí•yu• meaning "a beautiful open valley".
