Interestingly enough the name indian comes from In dio or with god.
Columbus thought that he had discovered the garden of eden.  It isn't
from an association with India, as is often accepted. There is
certainly a lot of evidence of extensive trade prior to spanish
conquest. 

Actually I got my name from stamps that came out a some years back. It
was a cartoon character from the 20's or 30's.
