Forms:

α. 1700s 1900s– John Connu, 1800s John Cunner, 1800s John-Canoe, 1800s Johnkannau, 1800s– John Canoe, 1900s– John Kanoo.

γ. 1800s Johnny Canoe.

Origin: Probably a borrowing from a West African language.

Etymology: Probably < a West African language.There are several suggestions for a possible origin, but none can be substantiated. The word may be < a word related to Yoruba dʒonkoliko someone set up as figure of fun or disgrace (compare Krio dʒaŋkono fool), or it may reflect an unattested Kongo phrase denoting a religious festival (containing the elements nza and kunu origin, ancestor, although the latter is only attested in regional use, not near the coast); perhaps compare nza-nkulu formerly, in the old days (nza world + nkulu old, ancient, ancestors; related to kunu ). The word has also been taken to be < an Ewe compound, either < dzɔnɔ sorcerer + kunu cause of death, or < dzoŋ´kɔ sorcerer’s name for himself + -nu man, but these both pose semantic problems in the cultural context. Variant forms. A number of the English forms show folk-etymological alteration: e.g. in the α. forms after the male forename John (see John n.; in these forms usually as two words with capital initials); in the forms John Canoe and joncanoe after canoe n. (perhaps with reference to a boat sometimes carried by the character, although this is not a canoe; compare quot. a1818). In the γ. forms with further remodelling of the first element after the male forename Johnny (see Johnny n.). With the recent form jangkunu at β. forms compare Jamaican Creole jangkunu (1968 or earlier).

Originally and chiefly Caribbean (now chiefly Bahamian).

1. A masked man dressed in costume, who forms part of a traditional Christmas celebration on various Caribbean islands (esp. Jamaica), typically as one of a group of such men parading from house to house; (sometimes) spec. the leader of such a group. Later also: a dancer at a junkanoo (sense 2). Cf. set girl n. at set n.² Additions.
