Sejarah nama
The meaning of Ho-Ho-Kus's name is being debated. From an official history on the borough site, the most likely origin is the contraction of the Indian term Delaware "Mah-Ho-Ho-Kus" (or "Mehokhokus"), meaning "red cedar."
Other meanings have been proposed over the years and are listed on the borough's site, including the Indian word for running water, crevices in stone or under rock or hollow rock, the word hohokes denotes a wind whistle against the bark of a Chihohokies Indian head here, the Dutch Hoog Akers for "high seed" or Hoge Aukers , Dutch for "high oak", the Indian hoccus means "fox", or woakus , "gray fox", or that the "Ho" part means joy or spirit, and the rest of the name "hohokes," means a tree bark.
The source of constant confusion is the way the borough name has been laid out, with each syllable capitalized and separated by a hyphen. This confusion is only exacerbated by the existence of the Hohokus Township, which comprises the current Ho-Ho-Cus area and other surrounding communities, but is laid out without double capitalization or hyphens. Ho-Ho-Kus is served by the intersection of 168 at Garden State Parkway which lists the municipality as "Hohokus" on signing its exit.
The name "Ho-Ho-Kus" was used explicitly in a resolution requesting a name change authorized by the Board of Borough on October 12, 1908 and submitted to the New Jersey State Secretary requesting "That Borough is now known as Borough Orvil hereinafter known as Borough Ho-Ho -Kus... "
Several theories have been offered for hyphens and capitalization. One of them is that it was meant to distinguish between the borough and Hohokus Township, which was formed on April 9, 1849, and continued until 7 November 1944, when the referendum was ratified to change its name to Mahwah today. Another explanation is that it is meant to avoid confusion by postal employees by mail sent to Hoboken.
While efforts have been made in the next few decades to change the name or to change the way in which the name of the borough is capitalized and interrupted, the territory remains as "Ho-Ho-Cus."
