Both derivatives I find of that word come outside the Americas. One from Africa meaning creative, the other from Hindu meaning garden. Where did you see that?

Yeah the word he spelled came from Hindu meaning garden apparently. Or Africa meaning creative. No ties to America I could find. I guess they sound close
