@Sroonaka616 googled it

The word "barbecue" and the cooking method originated in the Caribbean with the Taíno people, who used the term "barbacoa" to describe a wooden framework for cooking meat over a fire. This practice was adopted and adapted by Spanish explorers, who brought the concept to other parts of the world, including North America. While the word and technique originated in the Caribbean, various regions in the US, particularly the South, developed their own distinct barbecue styles
