In North America alone there are many hundreds of native languages and each of them might include a term with the meaning you state.
For example, the Cree place name Chibougamau means "where the waters are confined, hemmed in or narrow".
The Cree term opa (a narrow place) or opaskweow(narrows between high banks) gives the Manitoba place name "The Pas".
The Algonkin (Algonquin) word kebek means "a narrow passage" or "a straight" and is the origin of the name of the city of Quebec.
In Ojibwe, a narrow river is agaasadetigweyaa, narrow waterfall is wabaashiijiwan, a narrow lake is obaajiwan.
There are many more examples.
