How did the dance, 'Swing' Get Its Name?

How did the dance, 'Swing' get its name?
Up until 1935, the dance most people outside of New York, now call
Swing, was called the Lindy all over the country until in 1935, when
Benny Goodman introduced the song, 'Sing,. Sing, Sing' at the Palamar
Ballroom in Los Angeles. Benny Goodman called his music, 'Swing Music', and
that's when the dancers in Southern California picked up on it, and began
calling the Lindy Hop, Swing dancing.
However, Duke Ellington came out with a song in 1932 called, 'It don't
mean a Thing if it don't have that Swing', and the Duke's style of Jazz
music was what Benny Goodman and all those Big Bands of that era up until
the 1950's used as a copied as a guide or role model when orchestrating
their music.
In New York, however, the name Lindy Hop remained the name even up
until today when I visit my relatives in New York or talk too them on the
phone. For a time around 1940, 'The Big Apple, a series of break steps like
the 'Suzy Q' and the 'Shorty George' was the craze that New Yorkers
included as breakaway steps in their Lindy Hop.
I have to stick in this pitiful laughable story about the 'Camel Walk' ,
which is a Big Apple step that I observed being taught about two months
ago, by a well known teacher, not Peter Loggins, being taught at one of the
most popular Venues, not the 'Swing Pit', and not on a Tuesday night, and
not by a female instructor, spent the whole group class lesson teaching the
Camel Walk with such pizzazz that the students stayed mesmerized with him
throughout the lesson in complete awe. The next week he taught the same
exact lesson with the same success. I was really amazed at the teacher's
ability to stretch a five minute lesson into a two 45 minute lessons. I
gave him an A+ for pizzazz!
