The pronunciation given wasn't English, so I'm listing two possible interpretations. Please correct if you know which it is.kwami01:04, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Many people where? In Scotland, perhaps. I'm leery about using [ɑ] to represent as-in-father, since it's likely to be taken to mean as-in-cot, which is incorrect.AJD19:19, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
While [a] as in "father" is considered technically correct, many people in Nahant use the [a] for the sound in "cat," because Nahant has its own specific variation of the Boston accent. In town, both pronunciations are considered correct.RubyMoriarty (talk)15:01, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Native Americans called the area Nahant, meaning "the point" or "almost an island." The original Indian name of the place, Nahanten, signifies twins or two things united, referring to the two connected islands forming it.
