A member of a Native American people of southern California and northern Baja California, also called the Kumeyaay.
From Spanish 'Diego,' referring to the San Diego region where these people originated, with the Spanish diminutive suffix '-eno.' The name reflects Spanish colonial naming conventions.
The Diegueno have lived in the San Diego region for over 10,000 years, but their original name 'Kumeyaay' is increasingly used to honor their own identity rather than a colonial label.
