In older writing about eastern North America, a married man of an Algonquian-speaking people.
Sannup is an old borrowing from an Algonquian language that turns up mainly in colonial and nineteenth-century books written by outsiders. Present-day writers treat it as dated colonial-era vocabulary and prefer the names of specific nations or simply the word husband. The spelling sannop is a variant, and both are found today mostly in word lists and historical quotation.
