Kiowa is based on their own word for "Principal People" or Ga-i-gwu.

"Kiowa" is a very poor attempt by white people to say the real name of the tribe: Gaigwu or Cáuigú.The first part of this is the element Kae- or Gai-which means the Kiowa themselves - it may derive from the word ka' (mother) or from ka-a' (a type of spear with feathers along its length). The true origin is lost. Kae-kiameans a Kiowa man; Kae-ma is a Kiowa woman.The second element -gua means men or people.So Cáuigú means "Kiowa people".Some writers have claimed that the meaning of Kiowa is "principal people", but a careful study of their language shows this idea to be false; the only way of expressing the word "principal", "genuine" "real" or "true" in Kiowa is to add the ending -hin.
what was the kiowa culture
There are many possibilities of how the Kiowa Indians got their name from myths to mountain ranges. One likely story, is that they shared land with the Arapahoe Indians and they gave them that name because Kiowa means "creek people. "
