Best Answer

The Apache and Navajo both belong to the Southern Athabaskan Language Family. This does not mean this was one language, but more like a root language like Latin is for French, Spanish, Italian, Etc.

They don't both use the exact word Diné. This is a Navajo word. There are six different Apache languages. In western Apache it is Ndee. The Mescalero Apache call themselves: Inday. The Lipan Apache say: Ndé.

The Southern Athabaskan Languages or "Apachean" is spoken by Jicarillo Apache, Mescalero Apache, Navajo, Lipan Apache, Chiricahua Apache, and by some Kiowa, and others.

All these words indeed mean "The People."

Why are the Dene' called Navajo?

The word "Navajo" comes from a Spanish adaptation of the Tewa Pueblo word navahu'u, meaning "farm fields in the valley." They were called Apache de Nabajo meaning "the apache group that farms". Navajo are cousins of the Apache. Some of the words are still similar between the two. Tewa are a neighboring Pueblo indian group. Dine' means "people"


What does the Spanish word Navajo mean?

The word Navajo does not come from Spanish. The Spanish learned it in the middle 1500s when they were asking Pueblo Tewa speakers names of the the different Apache related groups. They were told the Dine' were the "Apache of the wide or river bottom fields". "Navahu'u" is Tewa for "farm fields in a valley". Navajo is how the Spanish then spelled it. The Navajo language is related to other Apache languages about the same as Italian is to Spanish or Portuguese. The word Apache is thought to come from the Zuni language word for "enemy" or "stranger" Some other Apache groups were the Jicarilla ("little basket") and Mescalero ( mescal was a food staple) Apache.
