Etimologie (Engels)

From Spanish Caribe, from a Taíno or Kalinago term corresponding to karifuna (“Kalinago person”) in modern Kalinago, a borrowing from a Cariban language, ultimately from Proto-Cariban *karipona (“person”). Compare Kari'na karìna (“Carib person”).
The word came through French Caraïbes (/kaʁaˈib/) and English Caribe (/kæɹˈaɪbiː/).
