Philadelphia was home to Lenape Indians in the village Shackamaxon; Scholars see Lenape as same as Delaware; as it happens always in the history of the origin of different life systems, the field of decay is built on the loss of space in mind as well as on earth to accommodate changes. Lenape shifted from their original base village gradually to different locations :
Shackamaxon—Shacka-maxon or Shacka-ma-xon means ‘Sakya-Mother Juno or goddess Rumkuni of the Oxion region. Sakyas of the ancient world who find themselves linked to the Buddha were worshippers of Tree of Wisdom. Name of Sakya also identifies an Island as well as a tree in this name. –maxon may mean moksha or muni connected with salvation.

It is interesting to see how Penn made the treaty of friendship with Lenape Chief Tammany under the tree at Shackamaxon, in what is now the city’s Fishtown neighbourhood.
Name Philadelphia’s root is, according to scholars, in Greek terms phílos, means beloved, dear, and adelphós, means brother, brotherly. Lenape means Lavana or Le’ Nape(nabhi) means the ‘Middle Country’, also the ‘ancient Rome’. It may mean ‘ranapa’; a system of walking through two bamboo-sticks without putting feet on the ground. Some scholars find name Lenape originated from Leni; leni refers to Renu/or Renuka; it may mean rani means ‘Queen’ also. Various name-forms certainly identify a deity to add sacredness to the name. Whether Renu or Rani or Rumi or Lumi, all name-forms are packed in one geographical pocket in Oxion region, also called Auxian or Axion region which was visited by Alexander, and he married the daughter of the king of this region.
Episcopal Church which the black community founded to exhibit their cultural affinity is remarkably refers to the ancient Greek people’s migration to the region. Episcopal refers to ‘Epirus’ of the Greek whose meaning was misunderstood by the academic scholarship. Its root is in Rupa Saari, name of the mother of Saari-Putta(son of Saari), the foremost follower of the Buddha.
Originally, Lenape people were resident of Con’esto’ga, which identifies modern Washington Boro, Lancaster county; this place is also called Ka’ot’sch’ie’ra, and it identifies itself with modern Chickisalunga, again in the same Lancaster county; name of different places of the same county makes a historic link with the name of Lenape, like Gasch’guch’sa, modern Conewago Falls, Minquas and Sisa’we’hak’hanna’lenno’wak for which reason Lenape were called Sisa’we’hak’hanna’unk.
Con’esto’ga—-Con means ‘Kanha’; ‘esto’ means ‘asta or eight’; ga refers to ‘Gaga’ or ‘Ganga’; all the three terms identify one place, and that is See/Sri/Si and Ci;
Ka’ot’sch’ie’ra—-Ka refers to goddess ‘K’ or ‘Ka’; ‘ot’ is as same as Mt Ita, palace of Zeus; sch refers to palace of Juno, i.e Sha-chi, wife of Indra; ‘ie’ means Yahweh; and ‘ra’ refers to God Ra, as same as Ravi/Sun;
Gasch’guch’sa—-Gasch seems to mean ‘Go-karna’(i.e Oxion region) or the region of Gaii; guch stands for gachha means ‘tree’ or ‘root’ ; ‘-sa’ ‘with’;
Conewago—-it refers to ancient royal seat of administration Kanauja;
Minquas—royal seat of administration of Mankan//Mankada/Markan or Monkey country; it may refer to Sage Markanda which is as same as Marcion of the Bible
Sisa’we’hak’hanna’lenno’wak—Sisa refers to Susa/followers of Sisu or Susupala ; ‘we’ hak may mean Ahura or Yahweh or Arhat at Arka; hanna means ‘anna’ or ‘rice’; lenno means ‘aruna’; ‘wak’ refers to ‘arka or arc’; all mean the same but in different words of the same place.
Sisa’we’hak’hanna’unk— here ‘unk’ means ‘uruk’, as same as Arka;
Linking of Lenape with Delaware or considering Lenape as same as Delaware happened during colonial times, scholars say. Even the English calling Lenape as Delaware does not find a identifiable historical source. All types of western people are found to have settled in colonies in the area which have been named after their country; it does not mean they all arrived during the colonial time at the same time from all over Europe. Swedish calling the Lenape brings home the meaning of Renappi or ranapa, the bamboo-stick walking people. It is interesting to see Delaware being connected with De La Warr or Earl De La Warr, the title of the first governor of the Province of Virginia, as well as the title of the Peerage of Great Britain.
Earl—points to the holy country of El, or Ayila, as same as Iliad country of Homer;
De—means ‘desh’ or ‘country’;
La—-refers to a sacred place or the seat of worship of God or Goddess;
Warr—means ‘Ahur’ or Ahura Mazda of the Avesta;
Thus Lenape and Delaware find their ancient identity linked to two different sacred places, Rome, and See respectively.
