LiIke most of the modern names of native American tribes, Comanche is not the real name but one applied by neighbouring groups (who did not speak Comanche). The Comanche call themselves neuma or numinu, meaning people.

The origin of the word Comanche is unclear; it may from be a Ute word for "enemy" (kohmats), or simply a combination of neuma and the Ute ending -ache (meaning tribe), giving neumache, corrupted by Spanish settlers to Comanche.
