The Navajo language name for the Navajo people is Dine'. The mark over the "e" means it is higher tone and sounds to english speakers like it is stressed a little- di neh.
Other names are: Bíla'ashla'ii Dine'é, which means "five fingered people' but that is perhaps more a name for all humans. A spiritual name is Diyin Nohookáá Dine'é, which means "holy earth surface people". This was said to be the name given to the Navajo by the "Holy People", Diyin Dine'é. ( Spirits or gods might be another name for them.)
The name "Navajo" is said to be from a Tewa word meaning wide or valley fields. The Spanish called them Apachu de navajo meaning the Apache who farm in the valleys. They are a cousin of the Apache tribes. The word Apache is probably from Zuni.
