Just like almost all modern tribal names, Algonkin or Algonquin is not the real name of that tribe - it is a name applied by neighbouring people and adopted incorrectly into French and then English.
They call themselves Omamiwinini or Anishinaabeand their language is Omamiwininimowin.
The origin of Algonquin is uncertain. It may come from Mi'kmaq algoomeaking ("where fish and eels are speared" - a place name), or from Maliseet elægomogwik ("they are our relatives or allies"). Clearly, white explorers travelling with Mi'kmaq or Maliseet guides and arriving in the Algonquin territory asked the guides who these people were. The guides gave their own tribe's name for the Algonquin, not the real name - the same sequence happened throughout the Americas.
