Seriously : ‘ Lewiston is just across the Snake River from Clarkston. Geddit? Lewiston and Clarkston.’

Wow beautiful!

Well the French, la pelouse, une pelouse (as opposed to palouse) translated to English

would be - the lawn, a lawn. A short tight grassy area.

I'd go with the likely longer standing name of one of the tribes, Sahaptin-speaking groups (Palus band) living on the river.

Got to love Wikipedia contributors
