Word Origin & History
Chamorro
indigenous people of Guam and the Marianas Islands, from Sp. Chamorro, lit. "shorn, shaven, bald." Supposedly because the men shaved their heads, but the name also has been connected to native Chamoru, said to mean "noble," so perhaps Chamorro is a Sp. folk etymology.
