Reply to "Can someone pronounce"Juniata" for me"

The word "juniata" itself is a Seneca word that means either "people of the standing stone" or "blue waters". 

 

If you like Wikipedia.

 

I guess all you Easterners know how to pronounce Ashtabula - I got that from googling it after asking above.

 

There is an intersection in the skies above Philadelphia that used to be called "Juniata" - computers shortened it to "JUNIA" because computers cannot handle big words.  I always wondered if there was a locomotive shop in Philly named Juniata.  I have actually been to Juniata College, and knew it was very far away from Philly.
