Mohave (actually pronounced makav) is the Mohave word for "alongside" and it occurs in the expression aha makavmeaning "alongside the river" (aha means river).
"Aha makav" is the Mohave name for the Mohave, the "alongside the river people." The river is, of course, the Colorado River and their historic and present portion of the river is the roughly 120-mile stretch mostly below the city of Needles in California, but extending also into Nevada and Arizona.
So that is literally where the name comes from.
