‘ish’ means ‘the people of’. It’s usually a river that the people are of. I used to live about a quarter mile from the mouth of the Snohomish. There are many more ishes up there, and probably not an many as there used to be.

I knew of Snohomish from the “Snohomish door”, an aircraft modification made in that town. It lets the door of a Cessna fly up against the wing so jumpers can exit easily in cold weather.
