What is the Algonquin translation for the Wampanoag-given name Big Fish?
Nikkinouse
In the Wampanoag dialect of the Algonquian language family (also called Massachusett, Wôpanâak or Natick), the term for "fish" in general appears to be nammos, plural nammask. This would correspond with the general Algonquian word nam-, "fish".
The Wampanoag word for big, large or great is massa-, missi- or mishe- as a prefix, so Big Fish would be massanammos.

What city in Illinois whose name comes from an Algonquin word meaning garlic field?
No city in Illinois has a name from Algonquin - that language is only spoken by the Algonquin tribe of Canada. Chicago is named from the Miami (not Algonquin) word chicagoua, meaning the wild native garlic plant (Allium tricoccum) - there is nothing in the word that represents "field", so it definitely does not mean "garlic field", simply "wild garlic".It is claimed that the Miami word also signifies "skunk", but this is given as shikakwa in modern sources.

How did the algonquin tribe get their name?
Just like almost all modern tribal names, Algonkin or Algonquin is not the real name of that tribe - it is a name applied by neighbouring people and adopted incorrectly into French and then English.They call themselves Omamiwinini or Anishinaabeand their language is Omamiwininimowin.The origin of Algonquin is uncertain. It may come from Mi'kmaq algoomeaking ("where fish and eels are speared" - a place name), or from Maliseet elægomogwik ("they are our relatives or allies"). Clearly, white explorers travelling with Mi'kmaq or Maliseet guides and arriving in the Algonquin territory asked the guides who these people were. The guides gave their own tribe's name for the Algonquin, not the real name - the same sequence happened throughout the Americas.
