The origin of Fire Island’s name is uncertain. It is believed its Native American name was Sictem Hackey (“Land of the Secatogues”). The Secatogues were a tribe in the area of the current town of Islip. It was part of what was also called the “Seal Islands”.
The name of Fire Island first appeared on a deed in 1789.
Historian Richard Bayles suggests that the name derives from a misinterpretation or corruption of the Dutch word vijf (“five”), or in another version vier (“four”), referring to the number of islands near the Fire Island inlet, a view echoed by Robert Caro, who suggests in The Power Broker that the island was named to reflect four inlets that have since disappeared. At times histories have referred to it in the plural, as “Fire Islands”, because of the inlet breaks.
