Nothing, because it is the name of river named after the English Lord de la Warr, a governor of the Jamestown colony. The English gave the name Delaware to the tribe after this river.

The Delaware tribe call themselves Lenni Lenape, meaning something like true people or first men.

Most of the tribal names used today are not the real names of the native groups, but names given them by other tribes or by white men.
