Definition
Relating to Jamaica, its people, or culture. Can also be used as a noun for a person from Jamaica.
Etymology
From Jamaica, derived from the Taíno word 'Xaymaca' meaning 'land of wood and water'. The island was named by its indigenous Arawakan-speaking inhabitants before European colonization.
Kelly Says
Jamaica has given the world reggae music, the Rastafarian movement, and jerk seasoning, but it's also the birthplace of bobsledding in the tropics, immortalized in the 1988 Winter Olympics. The island produces some of the world's fastest sprinters due to a combination of genetics, training culture, and diet.
