�The word I gave you was Takemmy, not Jakemmy.
Two words of common origin are Chappaquiddich (Vineyard) and Chebeag Island in Casco Bay. Both are from the word[?] Tchepi[?] = separated. The former means separated island (a quiden - eck), i.e. separated from the Vineyard proper - while the latter means The Separated land - its physical characteristics today are described in an old deed, "the so[superscript] Island being at High water as two Islands yet is but one Island." I believe however that Chebeag is an aberration of Chepi-ag[uiden].
In the Simancas[?] map of 1610 may be found one of the few Indian names attached to our[?] Maine coast - Tahanock at the mouth of the St George River - which I translate as Atahan-auk[?] = Hill land in reference to the Camden Hills seen by Weymouth and described also by Popham in his record of voyage in 1606.
