The name 'Canberra' was not derived from two words. The first settler in the Canberra region - then known as Limestone Plains - was Joshua John Moore who took up land in the area in 1824, naming it Canberry. He took this name after hearing the local indigenous people use the word Kamberra when they conversed, referring to the site as a "meeting place".
