Indians used names from the first thing the mother saw after the
birth, or some great happening (green comet in the sky: Tecumseh)
or some feat of the father, and they often changed their names
after Hanblecheya (vision quest). As above, aside from Navajo,
they did not use last names; the clan they belonged to was more
important.
