How did kangaroo get the name kangaroo?

How did kangaroo get the name kangaroo?

Apparently the first English speaking people asked the Aboriginals what the kangaroo was called.

They answered kangaroo but I heard that that meant what are you on about.

Is this true? has anyone else heard of this?

Re: Kangaroo

I've heard this story as well. Think a tour guide mentioned this at Currumbin Wildlife Park, Gold Coast.
