His name was Chief Powhatan.

Captain John Smith's middle name was "Smith." He is often referred to simply as John Smith. He is best known for his role in the establishment of the Jamestown colony in Virginia and his interactions with Native American tribes, including Pocahontas.
John Smith never married Pocahontas. In fact, Pocahontas is only a nickname given to Matoaka meaning playful. When John Smith visited the Powhatan tribe he actually was treated very well. Matoaka was about 11 years old at the time. When Pocahontas was 17, she was abducted and imprisoned in Jamestown for a year. She was released after she agreed to marry John Rolfe. They had a son Thomas Rolfe and Matoaka, then known by the name of Rebecca Rolfe, died at the age of 22 in March of 1617.
John Smith is a common US name; he was a US Serviceman.
Nantaquoud
His name was Chief Powhatan.
Thomas Rolfe
It is unlikely that Smith ever understood the name Nantaquod (he may not even have recorded it accurately). Much of the Powhatan language was never recorded at all by the English, so the meaning of many words (including Nantaquod) is lost. The language is extinct today.
The Native American Chief's name was "Wahunsonacock" or "Chief Powhatan".
The word "raccoon" was adopted into English from the native Powhatan term, as used in the Virginia Colony. It was recorded on Captain John Smith's list of Powhatan words as aroughcun,and on that of William Strachey as arathkone.

No one knows for sure what all the Indians' names were because everyone in Jamestown just called them, "Powhatan" because that was the name of the tribe that lived in the area at that time... However, one Powhatan's name we are absolutely sure of, her name was Pocahontas. Pocahontas supposedly saved the founder of Jamestown, John Smith's, life.
The name of the captain of Titanic was Edward John Smith.
Pocahontas was simply a nickname meaning spoiled child. Her correct name was Matoaka, daughter of Powhatan. When John Smith came and stayed with the Powhatans, she would have been about 10.
