"Pan." The meaning seems to be a pond. The neighborhood has been always known among the old Dutch settlers as De Panne, or The Ponds. The etymology is obscure. The word pan in Dutch is as in English-a frying-pan, specifically. The Dutch dictionaries give een Stand water (standing or smooth water), paerde-wet (watering-place for horses), or vijver (a fish-pond) as the Dutch equivalent for the English "pond." The writer has conjectured that the word may be of Indian origin, but the Lenni-Lenape word expressing the meaning of pond usually has the inseparable generic suffix peek, paug, pock, as in nippeek, me nuppeek, Romopock. The simplest, though not wholly satisfactory, explanation seems to be that the word pan is merely a corruption of the English "pond." See Wanamasoa.
