Manhattan er en øy i den amerikanske byen New York.[1] Øya tilhører bydelen Manhattan og er omgitt av elvene East River, Harlem River og Hudson River. Den er 21,5 km lang. Ifølge myter ble øya kjøpt fra de innfødte for 24 dollar i perler og andre pyntegjenstander. Øya ble kolonisert av nederlenderne i 1624.

Etymologi

Navnet «Manhattan» er avledet fra ordet Manna-hata, som nedtegnet i loggboken til Robert Juet i 1609, en offiser om bord på Henry Hudsons skip «Halve Maen» (Halvmåne).[2] Et kart fra 1610 nedtegnet navnet som Manna-hata, to ganger ved at det sto på vest- og østsiden av elven Mauritius (senere omdøpt til Hudson River). Ordet Manhattan har blitt oversatt som «øya med de mange åser» i henhold til det lokale urspråket unami (lenape), i slekt med algonkinske språkene.[3]
