The local indigenous people were believed to use the word Kamberra in reference to the site where Canberra now stands. The word has always been thought to mean "meeting place". However, more recent evidence suggests it may actually be a corruption of the indigenous word "ngambri", taken from the indigenous people of the same name. There have been suggestions that this possibly means "a woman's cleavage".
