What kind of name is 'Kenepaske'?

Following up on my recent post to the Tutelo Immersion room, where I suggested that the “Tutelo pledge of Allegiance” might be reconstructed as “Kenpaski miwaki“…

A little while ago, I tried doing a google search for “Kenepaski-” as Fontaine spelled it (which I guessed meant queen or monarch or chief in Tutelo-Saponi), just in case there was ever some other reference to that word or title that might turn up on Google.

I was surprised when Google asked me “Did you mean Kenepaske”? That is pretty close, so when I looked that word up, I found out it is actually a family name in the US. I have never heard of this family before, nor have I been able to learn anything whatsoever of its origin, meaning, or what country they supposedly came here from. Has anyone here ever heard of a Kenepaske family? Is it just a coincidence that their name looks like what might be a 1716 Saponi title? Or is it really just some kind of Slavic name?

That reminds me, I met Mr. Haithcock at a recent pow-wow selling some volumes of genealogical lore; he is definitely Saponi, and as I was talking with him it hit me, that the name “Haithcock” sounds very close to the Tutelo-Saponi word for “road, path, way, trail” which was recorded by J.N.B. Hewitt as “Hentkoq” (where the n really indicates a “nasalised vowel”, like in French). It could be another coincidence, or maybe this all could mean that more surnames out there are really in the Tutelo language than anyone realizes!

Anyway, for more info on the Tutelo-Saponi language, currently being revitalized as a crucial part of culture, learners can now consult the newly-published (and cheap!) Tutelo Dictionary!:
