>> The name Nohkalikai refers to ‘Jump of Ka Likai’.

>> Here is the story behind the name of 'Nohkalikai':

Up the falls, a woman lived, named Likai. After becoming a widow and a mother of an infant child, her life turned difficult. Thus, she married the second time, but her husband did not take care of her. One day, in the absence of Likai, her husband took the infant child and cooked her meat, throwing away the head and bones. On returning home, Likai was hungry and ate the cooked meat. She saw a finger, and realized what she had done. Thus with this guilt, she jumped off the falls, which is currently called Nohkalikai.
