Name.
The name Axion derives from "assiscu", an Unami language term for "mud", and translates as "the muddy place". Other spellings of their name include Atsayonck and Atsayongky. 
American archaeologist and historian Daniel Garrison Brinton suggested their name might derive from Assiscunk Creek, near Burlington, New Jersey.

The Axion Lenape spoke an Unami language.
Territory.
The Axion lived on the eastern side of the Delaware River, from Rancocas Creek to the area that became Trenton, New Jersey.

In 1648, the Axion was one of the largest Native communities on the Delaware River with approximately 200 warriors. Before 1700, they were no longer a distinct band.
