This is very interesting. All this time I have had this learned misconception.

There is a mistaken belief that the word Indian refers somehow to the country India. When Columbus washed up on the beach in the Caribbean, he was not looking for a country called India. Europeans were calling that country Hindustan in 1492…. Columbus called the tribal people he met “Indio,” from the Italian in dio, meaning “in God.” ― Russel Means
