A lot of European languages have that too, in Serbian it's Индијанац (Indijanac) for native Americans and Индијац (Indijac) for jeets. Хиндус (Hindus) is an alternative name for jeets.It's funny because most Asian languages predate discovery of the New World and there's two different ways of saying Indian depending on if you're dot or feather. For example, Koreans use indoindeul to refer to subcontinentals and indieon to refer to the American Indian. It's also similar in Chinese I think.
