Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Named in honor of the English Duke of York (later King James II) in 1664, when the British took over the former Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam. The term combines the Old English 'nīwe' (new) with the placename 'York', which ultimately derives from the Latin 'Eboracum' of Celtic origin.
