Etymology

Is there any reliable historical source for the origin of the name "au sable"? While "with sand" is plausible, so is "black water". In archaic and some dialects of French, sable does in fact mean "black" and is the origin of that sense in the English word "sable". "Au" might also be a corruption of "eau". The question arises not just because this area was early visited by French who came from various parts of France where standard French was not the norm, but also because in the vicinity of AuSable Forks, there is a stream called "Black Brook", perhaps an early English echo of the name Au Sable as they understood it.

I am a native of Au Sable Forks. The meaning we were raised with, regarding the origin of the name of our little hamlet was "The Sandy Forks" In other words, the place where the East Branch and the West Branch of "The Sandy River" meets. Joanne Nugent, 1/27/08
