Wikipedia: Manhattan
Manhattan (/mænˈhætən, mən-/), known regionally as The City, is the most densely populated and geographically smallest of the five boroughs of New York City. It is the urban core of the New York metropolitan area, and coextensive with New York County, one of the original counties of the U.S. state of New York. Manhattan serves as the city’s economic and administrative center, cultural identifier, and historical birthplace. The borough consists mostly of Manhattan Island, bounded by the Hudson, East, and Harlem rivers along with several small adjacent islands, including Roosevelt, U Thant, and Randalls and Wards Islands.
(...)
Etymology
The name Manhattan derives from the Munsee Lenape language term manaháhtaan (where manah- means “gather”, -aht- means “bow”, and -aan is an abstract element used to form verb stems). The Lenape word has been translated as “the place where we get bows” or “place for gathering the (wood to make) bows”.

It’s terrible. Nobody’s going to care, it’s what I came to know the terms as. Shoudl we rename New York becuase it isn’t New anymore too? What about THEYhattan? This is what time and effort of governments is going into instead of diseases/hunger/homeless everyone.

Law makers in NYC are entertaining the idea to change the name of Manhattan to Theyhattan after 50,000 petitions were signed stating we should not assume the gender of this Burrough. This is different than the 2012 petition that did not pass to change the name from Manhattan to

It’s reminiscent of the super cringe ad, “MANhattan, SHEhattan, THEYhattan, WEhattan”—except that here, at least, the process works:
