The Manhattan area is named after the Manhattan tribe, who were mentioned in an account dated 1609 by Robert Juet (an officer on Henry Hudson's ship). It is originally a place name referring to both sides of the Hudson river, where this tribe had several villages.
The meaning is uncertain but it may come from Munsee Delaware manahatouh, which means "place where timber is procured for bows and arrows".
