Mondamin (deity)

In Germany, the name Mondamin almost exclusively denotes a (now Unilever-held) brand of cornstarch-based convenience products. In 1913, Mondamin GmbH had chosen its company name especially in order to hint at the Hiawatha lore, the brand itself dating back to 1896.^[2]

The name of Mondawmin Mall, a Baltimore, Maryland, shopping center that opened in 1956,^{[3][circular reference]} is presumed to be a variation on the name of the god. The mall sits on part of the former Mondawmin Manor, a 19th-century estate whose owner is said to have been encouraged by the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow to name it after Mondamin, who is mentioned in his poem "The Song of Hiawatha."^[4]
