覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Lenape は北米先住民族の自称で、Delaware people とも呼ばれる。単なる地名ではなく、人々・文化・歴史を指す固有名として語頭を大文字にする。Lenape people、Lenape history、Lenape communities という結び付きを一組にして覚えると、民族名としての用法が定着する。
Learn Lenape as the people’s own name rather than as an ordinary place name. English sources may also use Delaware people, but Lenape is central in phrases such as the Lenape people, Lenape history, Lenape culture, and Lenape communities. Capitalize it because it names a distinct Indigenous people and can function attributively before another noun. Connecting the word with the northeastern woodlands of North America will help distinguish it from unrelated regional names.

lenape の語源・成り立ち Etymology
デラウェア先住民の自称で、ウナミ・レナペ語「Lënape」に由来し「真の人々」を意味する。「lenno」(真の・本物の)と「ape」(人)の合成語。北米東部の多くの先住民族名が同様に「人々」を意味しており、自民族を「本物の人間」と称する普遍的な命名パターンを反映している。
Lenape comes from the people’s name for themselves, represented in Unami as Lënape. It is traditionally explained as meaning “the people” or “the original or true people,” with elements associated with being genuine and with a person. English adopted the Indigenous name alongside Delaware, an externally applied name derived from the Delaware River and colonial naming practices.
