In Venice, c. 1600.
The word was first used in the 17th century. It is not known whom the actual person was that first used the word.
The first attempt to set up a ghetto had been made by the SS in November 1939. In mid-November 1940 the Jewish ghetto in Warsaw was sealed off by a high wall. The Nazis did not use the term ghetto, but referred to the area as Jüdischer Wohnbezirk meaning Jewish Quarter.

The Warsaw Ghetto was destroyed at the end of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in April 1943. The site (or part of it) was later used as a concentration camp, but very little is known about it. By January 1945 the Soviet Army was in Warsaw.
That word is not in the Bible.
How about: " He's a ghetto boy"? It's as difficult one.
ghetto
The word ghetto was first used in 1611 to denote the Jewish quarter in Venice. There are competing explanations as to its origin, but the one generally favoured is that it refers to an iron foundry which was on the site before the ghetto was established. In popular or folk etymology, the favourite explanation is that the word is derived from borghetto, which would mean little borough in Italian.
The word "ghetto" does not appear anywhere in the KJV bible.
He lived in the First Ghetto.
The word "ghetto" is a slang word. Basically, it means a neighborhood where an ethnically homogenous group of people live. The original meaning was the district of a town where Jews were compelled to live by law. The word was originally Italian and was first used in Venice around 1600 for the Jewish quarter there. The more modern meaning is an extension of this sense.
Yes, it is a real word
It seems funny to think that half of the guys who rap about the ghetto have never been in a ghetto in their lives.
NO! It is actually a noun or a place, most people use "ghetto" as adjective. But that is not the correct was to use it! And ghetto is not a bad word either.
