Manhattan got its name from the Lenape Native American word "Manna-hata," which means "island of many hills." The name was first recorded by European explorers in the early 17th century when the Dutch established a settlement called New Amsterdam on the island. Over time, the name evolved into "Manhattan," becoming synonymous with the bustling urban center it is today.
