Hispaniola name Hispaniola on the island, and recommended the use of that name to the National Geographic Society. The name "Haïti" was adopted by Haitian revolutionary Jean-Jacques Dessalines in 1804, as the official name of independent Saint-Domingue, as a tribute to the Amerindian predecessors. It was also adopted as the official name of independent Santo Domingo, as the "Republic of Spanish Haiti," a state that existed from November 1821 until its annexation by Haiti in February 1822. The primary indigenous group on the island of Hispaniola was the Arawak/Taino people. The Arawak tribe originated in the Orinoco Delta, spreading from Venezuela.
