The Olentangy River is a 97-mile-long tributary of the Scioto River in Ohio, United States. It was originally called keenhongsheconsepung, a Delaware word literally translated as "sharp tool river", based on the shale found along its shores. Early settlers to the region translated this into "Whetstone River".
