Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term originates from the native autonym of the indigenous Pueblo people, derived via Spanish adaptations from the Keresan name for the Zuni settlement. Historically documented during early Spanish explorations of the American Southwest in the 16th century, it has evolved to designate both the indigenous nation, their ancestral territory, and their unique isolate language.
