Appendix:English terms of Native Central American or Caribbean origin/Place names, personal names and tribe names

An offshoot of Appendix:English terms of Native American origin, this list includes place names, personal names and tribe names which originated from Native American language families spoken in the Caribbean, or both to the north and south of the Panama Canal. This does not imply a genetic relationship of these families to one another, it merely serves to catch terms derived from families which cannot be described as strictly North American or South American. See Appendix:English terms of Native Central American or Caribbean origin for a list of common nouns derived from these languages.
