The Native American Lenape tribe (who inhabited the area now known as New York City before the Europeans) named Manhattan Island, "Mannahatta" or "Manahata," which means "island of many hills" (it is indeed very hilly).
The spelling has changed over time, but Manhattan Island has been known as "Manhattan" ever since.
