Columbus called them a "puebla in Dios"Since that makes no sense as Spanish, I doubt that very much.
In Spanish, there is no such word as "in".

Spanish orthography was different in 1492. If you have ever read unedited Elizabethan plays, you know that standard spellings didn't exist until fairly recently.

Supposedly Cristobal Colon was from Italy (but there is some thought he was from Barcelona and related to the Colons who were pirates looting the King's ships hense the Italian cover story) so if he was Italian, Spanish was not his first language.
