[PW] ?delmarva peninsula

[John Henderson]

The Delmarva peninsula takes its name from Delaware, Maryland, and  
Virginia, but when was that name coined and did it have a different  
colonial or pre-colonial name? Did the Nanticoke, Lenape or  
Susquehannocks or other pre-European peoples give it a name? When the  
Dutch and Swedes and then English were disputing their colonial  
claims, did they agree on a name or have their own names for the  
peninsula?

Thanks,
