It's the name of a river in New England. Algonquin in origin, probably means "swift water" or some such.

Same question gets asked about Campbell and Mercer who always seem to play SEC teams.

Merrimack is an FCS school, just moved up.

Yes. The USN at that time named steam frigates after rivers.

Started out as a Union steam frigate that the Union attempted to scuttle to keep it out of Confederate hands but the rebs save it and made it into an ironclad.

That is also the name of a river in Mass.
