The smallest Great Lake by volume, the name Lake Erie is derived from the Iroquoian word "erielhonan," which means what?

Clearly, Lake Erie has no crocodiles, but the lake is long and thin, which explains the Iroquois moniker "long tail". By volume, Lake Erie is smaller than Lake Huron, but it's bigger in area. That's because Erie is the shallowest of the Great Lakes. The states that border Lake Erie are New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan.
