The name "Seminole" is believed to derive from the Spanish word "cimarrón," which means "wild" or "runaway." This term was originally used to describe Native Americans who escaped from Spanish missions and settlements in Florida. Over time, it came to refer specifically to a group of Creek Indians who migrated to Florida in the 18th century and formed a distinct tribe. The Seminoles developed their own identity and culture, further solidifying their name in American history.
