Best Answer

In the eastern Algonquian languages the term for south is sowanayeu, schawaneu or similar words. Their more northerly neighbours called them Shawnee to indicate "people to the south [of us]".

The Shawnee may have originally been one people with the Delawares (Lenape); their real name may have been Ontouagannha.
