Nobody "designed the meaning" of the word Canberra. Canberra means "Meeting Place" in the aboriginal language. 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. Moore's land was situated at the base of Black Mountain, although much of his land now lies submerged by Lake Burley Griffin.
