An interesting historical fact
No one knows for sure where the name “ Yankee” comes from.
Some think that the Indians who came to the village of New Plymouth called the Englishmen “Yankee”
Some think that it comes from the Dutch name Jan Kees or from a Dutch pirate named Yankey.
Whatever the origin is, still in colonial times the British soldiers used this word as a rude name for the Americans whom they disliked.
