What does algonquin's tribe name mean?

Most consider themselves Omàmiwinini or Anicinàbe, and not Algonquin; Anicinàbe means "the original people". The origins of the word "Algonquin" are unknown, though there are claims that it came from similar sounding words from other tribes, meaning bark-eaters, allies, fish-spearers, and even good dancers.

What languages did the Algonquian speak?

Many people are confused about the term "Algonquin", which really refers to just one small tribe living along the Ottawa River valley in Canada, where they have always lived and still live today.The similar word Algonquian refers to a huge family of distantly related languages spoken by many tribes across most of North American, but mainly in the north, around the Great Lakes and in the north-east woodlands and along the eastern seaboard of the USA. This language family gets its name from that small Algonquin tribe, who are used as representative of the whole group.The Algonquin language is still spoken today thanks to concerted efforts by the tribe itself, supported by the Canadian government; it is very closely related to Ojibwe and Ottawa (two more Algonquian languages).A few words of the Algonquin language are:kaagaagiw (raven)andeg (crow)miziki or kiniw (eagle)okad (leg)odoon (mouth)onagocag (stars)nodin (windy)kiziz (sun)cigwatik (pine tree)wabos (rabbit)nokomis (grandmother)biibiins (baby)So, to answer your question, the Algonquin people spoke the Algonquin language; the Algonquian tribes spoke a huge number of related Algonquian languages.

What is the meaning of the word Algonquin?

I am not convinced that it is anything in Algonquin - and since it is two words (Wana luna) and the name of a Golf course in North Carolina, it can not be Algonquin (that tribe lived entirely in Canada).It would have to be Catawba or one of their close neighbours, if it is not simply an invented name based on Latin Luna = the moon. Catawba is not an Algonquian language, but Siouan. I can find nothing like Wana luna in that language.
