Yes and no. The word raccoon derives from the native American name which was used in the 13th century by the natives. However, the word raccoon was not used until colonial times. The word "raccoon" was adopted into English from the native Powhatan term, as used in the Virginia Colony. It was recorded on Captain John Smith's list of Powhatan words as aroughcun, and on that of William Strachey as arathkone.
