Wow, I can't believe that's actually a real place.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murderkill_River

I know -kill is a popular suffix for a stream or river anywhere there was a Dutch colony, but the murder- part threw me off for sure. According to that Wikipedia article at least, it comes from either "moeder" (mother) or "modder" (muddy) and would therefore either mean "mother river" or "muddy river".
