Next I'll bet you'll say the Canary Islands were name after dogs!
Or Panama hats are from Ecuador!
Or a ten-gallon hat holds two gallons!
Lets go back to this again, just for fun
"Although the history of Coney Island's name and its anglicization can be traced through historical maps spanning the 17th century to the present,[11] and all the names translate to Rabbit Island in modern English, there are still those who contend that the name derives from other sources. Possible alternatives include the Irish Gaelic name for Rabbit which is Coinín, which is also anglicized to Coney. Ireland has many islands named Coney Island, all of which predate this one. Some claim that an Irish captain named Peter O'Connor named Coney Island in the 18th century, after an island in Sligo Bay known as both Coney Island and Inishmulclohy. Another purported origin is from the name of the Indian tribe, the Konoh, who supposedly once inhabited it. A further claim is that the island is named after Henry Hudson's right-hand-man, John Coleman, supposed to have been slain by Indians"
