Yes, but which site is it on, please? I assumed you meant the Ellis Island site, but now I'm not so sure?

I still haven't found the exact same screen you are looking at but I found a search field called Name of Town/Village of Origin, so it could be that?

Benrymnd, I think you must be looking on the MyHeritage site in their Ellis Island and Other New York Passenger Lists, 1820-1957 collection. Is that right?

https://www.myheritage.com/research/...57?s=692424721

Toward the top of that page, at the end of the paragraph ending 'and Ellis Island (1892-1957)', there is a little down-arrow, and clicking that will bring up some additional text to explain that:
Depending on the year, information recorded about a passenger may include name, age, gender, occupation, destination, and information regarding place of origin—e.g. native country, citizenship status, race, nationality, birthplace, or last residence.
Does that answer your question about their use of the term 'origin'?
