Sitting bull's real name is Tȟatȟaŋka Iyotȟaŋka, translated as "Sitting Bull" . He was born "Slon-He" meaning "slow", in Lakota tradition he was later given one of his father's names, because of his bravery and leadership skills in battle.

Parents:

Jumping bull - Father

Her-Holy-Door - Mother

He was given many names over his life time, so was his father. It was tradition to change names, and give part of the father's name for traits in the child.
