Name
The word Maroon comes from the Spanish word cimarron which means wild, untamed. The word was used to refer to African slaves who escaped into the hills from the Spaniards when the British invaded Jamaica in 1655. By 1660, the British have wrested control of most of the island from the Spaniards but they continued to fight the Maroons. Though the Maroons were few in number, not more than 2,000 strong, they fought as if they were a large force. This fighting between the British and the Maroons ended when they signed a peace treaty in 1738. (taken from The History of Jamaica)
The use of the term embodies the spirit of students of the University to "escape" from the status quo, by trying to bring it to a state of betterment. The adjective "fighting" was added for the athletic team to intensify the eagerness to combat any obstacles to win for the honor of the University.
Former names include the Maroons and Greens and the Parrots.
