Thank you. I never would have guessed. Sounds like a tech startup for the skinny pants crowd.

No, it is a word from the native Americans who lived (and still live) in the Philadelphia-Delaware area, the Leni Lenape indians. "Wawa" means Canada goose. The chain's logo has a goose flying over the letters. The chain was started from a dairy farm in the town of Wawa, about 20 miles outside Philadelphia on Rt 1.
