James, King Charles II's brother, who was indeed the Duke of York
New Jersey was originally part of the land grant of New York that the king of England Charles the second gave to his brother in 1664. James the Duke of York gave New Jersey to two political friends in 1674. These friends were John Berkeley and George Carteret, it was Carteret who named New Jersey.
New Jersey was named by James, Duke of York (the brother of King Charles II of England), who was given New Jersey by his brother. James later gave New Jersey to Lord John Berkeley and Sir George Carteret. James named the colony New Jersey to honor Carteret, who had been the Governor of Jersey, a British island in the English Channel.
