Reply:Why do you need to know them? They are family names now...would it not be rude to for some reason "need" and want to use someones surname? Especially one that is very close to heart with a person's family?
Reply:Donno myself. But just for fun- did you ever notice how many rivers in the US have some funny "Indian name" that means "crooked river."? Like here in Cleveland we have the


"Cuyahoga River" and people say it's Indian for crooked river. Right. Sure! EVERY state has some river like that.


But only we have Crooked River Beer.


And Drew Carey.
Reply:In our societies names change, you don't always keep the name your born with. Say a child was born "spring Lilly" and she was sent to get water and an elder seen her running back with it, she might decide to call her 'running water' after that.


Our names always come with a story of how we got it. It works a lot like getting a call sign.

Running bear


Pocahontas..


My sister called me 'Skipping School' cause I used to skip school alot.
Reply:Read some old books like Sacajawea. Never heard of Swan Circling. Why would you want to know this?
Reply:Native American tribe leaders would dilever the baby and walk out side. the first thing he saw, he would name the baby. such names would be like black crow, or morning sun, so on and so on
