The English term Guinea comes directly from the Portuguese word Guiné, which emerged in the mid-15th century to refer to the lands inhabited by the Guineus, a generic term for the black African peoples south of the Senegal River (as opposed to the 'tawny' Zenaga Berbers, north of it, whom they called Azenegues or Moors).
The feminine noun 'ghinee' is an Italian equivalent of 'guineas', of which the Italian equivalent of the singular is 'ghinea'.

The term "guineas" as a slur likely originated from Italian immigrants in the United States. It is derived from the word "Guinea" which was used as a derogatory term to refer to Italians, specifically those from the region of Sicily. The term was used in a derogatory and offensive manner to belittle Italian immigrants.
