We do not know for a fact what the Natives we Call Taino called themselves. Columbus writes that upon going ashore the natives greeted him saying Taino to differentiate themselves from the Caribs. But we do not know if taino ment they were good or if Good is what they called themselves. We do know Taino comes from the word Nitaino which is how the noble or ruling class was called.
