Joseph Brant received his English name from Sir William Johnson, a British colonial official and landowner, who was a close ally of the Mohawk people. Brant's Mohawk name, Thayendanegea, means "two sticks bound together," symbolizing unity and strength. Sir William Johnson adopted him into his family, granting him the English surname "Brant," which is derived from the Mohawk word for "swan." This name helped establish his identity in both Native American and colonial contexts.
