Shawnee means (people who live in) the south, southerners. They were regarded by their Algonquian relatives in Canada and around the Great Lakes as their southern cousins.

In just some of the many Algonquian languages the words for south are:

Natick.....................sowaneyeu

Ojibwe...................zhawan

Maliseet.................sawonehsonuk

Abenaki..................sôwanaki

Algonquin...............shàwanong

Mahican..................shawunag
