Word History: A British officer in 1789 suggested that Yankee comes from the Cherokee word eankhe “slave, coward”. It might just as well come from a Native American pronunciation of English, yengees, which later became Yankees. Yankee could have been withdrawn from this word by back derivation. Most probably, however, it comes from Dutch nickname for Jan “John”—Janke, where Dutch ‘j’ = [y]. In 1817, an observer noted that the populace of Richmond were “mostly strangers; Scotch, Irish, and especially New England men, or Yankees, as they are called.”

In a round-about way then, I’m responsible for my own nickname. I have Cherokee in my bloodline from my grandpa’s family. You really do learn something new everyday :P :wink:
