What name did James 2 give New York and why did he choose it?
James II renamed New Amsterdam to New York in 1664 in honor of the Duke of York, who was his brother.

Why did the Dutch give up New Amsterdam to the English and was there any fighting?
Simply they were out numbered by the Duke of York and by the English neighbors in New England and Long Island. The colonial neighbors came on to Dutch lands and ignored agreements. When King Charles sent a squadron in 1664 it was too much and Stuyvesant surrendered without a shot. Here is an interesting little fact Stuyvesant will return home to defend his decision to surrender and then went back to New York where he lived on his farm until his death.
In what year was New Amsterdam founded?
New Amsterdam was founded for the Dutch West India Company for the sole purpose of profit (through trade). The colony of New Amsterdam was founded by the Dutch West India Company, hoping to find as much profit as the Dutch East India Company did in the spice trade. The only trade item developed by the colony was furs from the Native Americans. The company blundered in, developing the colony for settlers so that population growth was very slow, resulting in little production of agricultural products or manufactured goods that could be shipped back to Holland. It was almost a mercy to have the place stolen away by the British after several decades of mismanagement.
