Native American names depend on the specific language of the named individual - a Crow will have a Crow name, a Mahican will have a Mahican name and so on.

Most native names were incorrectly translated into English by people who did not fully understand the name, so many names used and widely known today are not correct translations.

A few examples of Crow names:

Name..............................Correct Translation....................Poor Translation

Aleekcheaahoosh..............Many War achievements.............Plenty Coups

Peelatchiwaaxpaash...........Medicine Raven.........................Medicine Crow

Issaatxaluash....................Many Leggings..........................Two Leggings

Buaashish..........................Fish Appears............................Shows a Fish

Minatehash........................White Goose.............................White Swan

Daxpitchee Daasitchileetash. .Bear Whose Heart is Never Good....Bad Heart Bear

Daasawatash......................One Heart

Axuachisshish.....................Red Shirt

Biitawuash..........................Bell Rock

Basuukosh...........................Goes Ahead

Isapi Wisish.........................Hairy Moccasin

Isapiishchoosish...................White Moccasin Top

Buattaaxalushish..................Running Coyote
