The word "Can­ni­bal­s" was orig­i­nal­ly used as a name of certain people. How are they called today?

Carib people. Many his­to­ri­ans believe that can­ni­bal­ism was rare or even non existent among Carib people. In 1503 Queen Isabella ruled that only people who were better off under slavery (e­spe­cial­ly can­ni­bal­s) could legally be taken as slaves. This provided Spaniards an in­cen­tive for iden­ti­fy­ing various groups as can­ni­bals to enslave them.
