The name "Navajo" is derived from the Spanish pronunciation of the Tewa word "Navahu," which means "farm fields" or "planted fields." The Tewa people used this term to describe the Navajo people who lived in the region, particularly in relation to their agricultural practices. The Navajo themselves refer to their nation as "Diné," meaning "the People." Over time, "Navajo" became the commonly used name for this Indigenous group in the United States.
