Funny thing about it,is the name “Geronimo” isn’t even an Indian name....it’s Mexican,given to Geronimo (which actually means “Saint Jerome” in spanish)because,supposedly,when he set upon Mexican soldiers to kill them,they’d shout out the name of Saint Jerome (Geronimo). Wikipedia says so,so take it FWIW.
His name was Golyathe, “He Who Yawns” in Chiricahua. Except for Cochise, most of the Indian leaders of the Southwest were known to us by Spanish names: Victorio, Cuchillo Negro, Loco, Nana [Apache], Cuernas Verde [Comanche], Narbona, Manuelito, Barboncito [Navaho], Santanta [Kiowa]
As far as I know, the Mexicans haven’t complained about the use of the word “Geronimo”.
