The term "swanee" is often associated with the song "Swanee River," which became popular in the early 20th century. The name likely derives from the Swannee River in Florida, which was made famous by Stephen Foster's song published in 1851. The river itself was named after the Native American word for "swan," reflecting the area's natural beauty and wildlife. Over time, "swanee" has come to be used more broadly in various cultural contexts.
