覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Carib は歴史的にカリブ海や南米北部の先住民を指した名称で、民族名としては大文字にする。Carib people、Carib culture、Caribbean islands をひとまとまりで覚えれば、Caribbean がこの民族名と歴史的につながることも定着する。現代の人々には Kalinago という自称が好まれる場合があるので、用語選択に注意する。
Connect Carib with Carib people, Carib culture, and the Caribbean. The shared beginning reflects a real historical naming relationship: European forms of the people’s name helped produce the regional name Caribbean. Use a capital letter when referring to the people or their identity. Also remember the modern usage note: Kalinago is often preferred for the Indigenous people of the Lesser Antilles, while Carib remains common in historical writing and in established linguistic labels such as Cariban languages. This is an ethnonym, not simply a short form meaning any person from the Caribbean; Caribbean has a much broader geographical and cultural reference.

carib の語源・成り立ち Etymology
アラワク語系の kalinago / kariba（勇敢な人々）に由来する南米・カリブ海先住民族の呼称。スペイン人が「Caríbal」と記録し、Caribbean（カリブ海）の語源となった。また cannibal（食人）もこの語から派生した。
Carib entered European languages through Spanish forms such as caribe, based on an Indigenous ethnonym associated with peoples of the Caribbean and northern South America, including forms related to Kalinago and Karina. Caribbean was subsequently formed from this name. Cannibal also developed through Spanish representations of the same ethnonym, although European colonial beliefs shaped that semantic history. The exact original interpretation should be stated cautiously rather than reduced with certainty to “brave people.”
