Saratoga, New York: Uncertain. Termination oga or aga said to signify "place," the first part of the word thought by some to imply "hillside"; by others, a reference to the springs, soragh in some Indian dialects being the name for "salt"; seitake is given, meaning "on the heel," but no reason further than a probable corruption in pronunciation of the word. Assarat, "sparkling," oga, "place," is mentioned by Schoolcraft.
