Wikipedia
Before the arrival of Europeans, Grenada, was inhabited by Carib Indians who had driven the more peaceful Arawaks from the island.
" The origin of the name " Grenada " is obscure, but it is likely that Spanish sailors renamed the island for the city of Granada.
By the beginning of the 18th century, the name " Grenada ", or " la Grenade " in French, was in common use.
Partly because of the Caribs, Grenada remained uncolonized for more than one hundred years after its discovery.
