The proper names of localities in Cuba, Hayti and the Bahamas, furnish additional evidence that their original inhabitants were Arawacks. Hayti, I have already shown has now the same meaning in Arawack which Peter Martyr ascribed to it at the discovery. Cubanacan, a province in the interior of Cuba, is compounded of _kuba_ and _annakan_, in the center;[27] Baracoa, the name of province on the coast, is from Ar. _bara_ sea, _koan_ to be there, “the sea is there;” in Barajagua the _bara_ again appears; Guaymaya is Ar. _waya_ clay, _mara_ there is none; Marien is from Ar. _maran_ to be small or poor; Guaniguanico, a province on the narrow western extremity of the island, with the sea on either side, is probably Ar. _wuini wuini koa_, water, water is there. The names of tribes such as Siboneyes, Guantaneyes, owe their termination to the island Arawack, _eyeri_ men, in the modern dialect _hiaeru_, captives, slaves. The Siboneyes are said by Las Casas, to have been the original inhabitants of Cuba.[28] The name is evidently from Ar. _siba_, rock, _eyeri_ men, “men of the rocks.” The rocky shores of Cuba gave them this appellation. On the other hand the natives of the islets of the Bahamas were called _lukku kairi_, abbreviated to _lukkairi_, and _lucayos_, from _lukku_, man, _kairi_ an island, “men of the islands;” and the archipelago itself was called by the first explorers “las islas de los Lucayos,” “isole delle Lucaí.”[29] The province in the western angle of Haiti was styled Guacaiarima, which Peter Martyr translates “insulae podex;” dropping the article, _caiarima_ is sufficiently like the Ar. _kairuina_, which signifies _podex_, Sp. _culata_, and is used geographically in the same manner as the latter word.
