Best Answer

The name 'Seminole' is a variation of the Spanish word 'Cimarron, which means 'runaway.' The Seminoles can trace their ethnicity back to through various tribes, mainly Creek. The tribe also merged with escaped African slaves who came to be known as Black Seminoles. The tribe now mainly resides in Oklahoma and Florida.
