Editing Guaraní people (section)

==Name==
The history and meaning of the name ''Guaraní'' are subject to dispute. Before they encountered Europeans, the Guarani referred to themselves simply as ''Abá'', meaning "men" or "people".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/07045a.htm|title=Catholic Encyclopedia}}</ref> The term Guarani was originally applied by early [[Society of Jesus|Jesuit]] missionaries to refer to natives who had accepted conversion to the Christian religion; ''Cayua'' or ''Caingua'' (''ka'aguygua'') was used to refer to those who had refused it. ''Cayua'' is roughly translated as "the ones from the jungle". While the term Cayua is sometimes still used to refer to settlements of Indigenous peoples who have not well integrated into the dominant society, the modern usage of the name Guarani is generally extended to include all people of native origin regardless of societal status. Barbara Ganson writes that the name ''Guaraní'' was given by the Spanish since it means "warrior" in the Tupi-Guaraní dialect{{Clarify|date=April 2025}} spoken there.<ref name=Ganson2003>{{Cite journal  | title = The Guarani Under Spanish Rule in the Rio de la Plata  | year = 2003  | author=Ganson, Barbara  }}</ref> ''Guarinĩ'' is attested in 16th-century [[Old Tupi]], by Jesuit sources, as "war, warrior, to wage war, warlord".<ref>Eduardo de Almeida Navarro.
