The word potlatch comes from a term in the Chinook jargon, which was a kind of invented language used by the Pacific north-west tribes for trade. The original native word patchitle means "to give away".
The potlatch ceremony was practised by the Kwakiutl, Haida, Tlingit, Tsimshian, Makah, Nuxalk and Nootka tribes - each would have had a word in their own language for this ceremony.
