Nantan in Apache means Chief or Spokesman (tribal representative). The apachean people had 7 different languages and distinct cultures where the only references commonly found refer to Cochise, Mangas Coloradas, Geronimo, Lupan amongst others as Nantans. All these chiefs were Chiricahua Apaches so its most likely a Chiricahua Apachean word, but not necessarily exclusive to this tribe.
