Also, the island of Puerto Rico was called "Boriqua" by the natives of the island. Of course, it wasn't called PR until the Spanish came. Those who are particularly interested in PR becoming independent of the US call themselves "Boriquan". (At leat that's what my African American Anthro. professor told me.)

According to my "Boriquan" co-worker, it means male or female Puerto Rican born in Puerto Rico but many non-Puerto Rican (island) born Puerto Ricans call themselves Boriquas as well.......
