  • This is a list of English language words borrowed from indigenous languages of the Americas, either directly or through intermediate European languages such as Spanish or French. † indicates a link to a definition of the word. It does not cover names of ethnic groups or place names derived from indigenous languages. Most words of Native American language origin are the common names for indigenous flora and fauna, or describe items of Native American life and culture. Some few are names applied in honor of Native Americans or due to a vague similarity to the original object of the word. For instance, sequoias are named in honor of the Cherokee leader Sequoyah, who lived 2000 miles east of that tree's range while the kinkajou of South American was given a name from an unrelated North American animal 2000 miles to the north.
