According to the
Geographic Names Information System, the Walhonding River has also been known historically as: • Muskingum River ("West branch") • Walhandink River • West Branch of the Muskingum • White Woman Creek • White Woman River • White Womans Creek • White Womans River • Whitemans Creek • Whitewoman Creek • Whitewomans Creek • Wolhonding River The name "White Womans Creek" (and variants) was probably originally intended to refer specifically either to the Kokosing River or to the Mohican River; and during that same period (mid-1700s), the Walhonding was known only as the "West branch of the Muskingum". The final name "Walhonding" was newly chosen by legislators sometime after the 1820s. ==See also==
