Nanachehaw, Mississippi

Nanachehaw is an extinct settlement of Warren County, Mississippi, United States, located in the Walnut Hills near the Big Black River. An alternative name was Allen Station. One folk etymology had it that the name meant "fish hill", but a study of Muskogean language place names states Nanchehaw comes from "nanachiha, a kind of cedar".
