Black Kettle became a chief of the Cheyenne in 1854 and almost nothing is known of his life prior to that time. The Cheyenne kept no written records and the origin of the name is uncertain.
In Cheyenne it is Mo'ôhtavetoo'o, where the element mo'ohta- means black and -vetoo'o- is a pan or cooking pot in the So'taa'e dialect.
A black cooking pot can only be an iron one obtained from white traders; perhaps at the time he was born (around 1803) such things were new and unfamiliar to the Cheyenne, so he may have been named for one of the earliest iron pans among his band of the tribe.
