The Native American (Indian) name meant "Father of Waters".

The Anishinaabe were a group of tribes including the Ojibwe (Chippewa) and Algonquin tribes. In their language, the words "Mici zibi" (Misi-ziibi) meant "great river" or "gathering in of all the waters". This was rendered by the French as "Messipi".
