I dunno. Yankee is a word that when you follow the pointing fingers of people saying "No they're Yankees not me!" you end up in New England, not New York. For it to be based on Dutch names and...the New Amsterdam rejects it and the New Englanders take it? I don't buy it.
But maybe instead it's (from) what the Dutch called the New Englanders for whatever linguistic reason? I could buy that yeah.
