Chititu Creek flows northwest 7 miles to Nizina River, 9 miles southeast of McCarthy. This Indian name was reported in 1885 to mean "copper water." It was so named because of its dark brown (or copper) color. [Source: Donald Orth. Dictionary of Alaska Place Names: Geological Survey Professional Paper 567.
