The word Sioux has no meaning in any language - it is a shortened form of the Ojibwe term nadowe-is-iw-ug meaning a "small adder snake" or enemy. This could not be pronounced by French explorers, who only managed "is-iw" which they spelled as Sioux. The Ojibwe were long-term enemies of all the Sioux tribes, so it is not intended as a compliment.
Sioux is not the name of a tribe but a large number of related tribes such as the Oglala, Brule, Hunkpapa, Yankton, Sisseton and many more.
