Answer 1

Yes! I'm a hoosier, too.. however, I'm not in Indy. Anywho, Indianapolis is literally "Indiana City" ...you're right about the indian thing, sort of..because Indiana was called Indiana because of the Indians who settled here.

Answer 2

"Polis" is Greek for "city"

so it literally means "Indiana city"

Answer 3

Origin of Name - Meaning "Land of Indians''
