message: Name origin: The name "Goshenhoppen" as an Indian name has no linguistic value. It is entirely out of sink with native languages of the area. It is most likely of Germanic root, being a mixture of the place name "Goshen" and "Hafen." However, in fairness, since neither etymology has been proven, I have left both.
There was no reference cited claiming that "Bally" was ever a contraction of "Butter Valley," as a previous edit suggested. It seems odd that one would overlook the local oral history of the people in Bally, who claim the name was changed to honor Fr. Augustine Bally, S.J., who died the year before they changed the name of the town. Both a local genealogy page that references local historian Leon Borst and a find a grave page for Fr. Bally credit the origin of the town's name as honoring the priest.
I was personally in Bally yesterday, and the people I spoke with gave me this same name origin.
