In answer to your question about the origins of "Willamette":
"Willamette, pronounced "will-AM-it," is believed to derive from the colonized pronunciation of Wallamt, which means "still water," describing a place on the river near Oregon City. The area was and is largely inhabited by Kalapuyans (members of the Kalapuya Tribe) as well as Molalla, Clackamas and Chinook peoples."
See linky for origins of other Oregon place names.
