| CONTENT DESCRIPTION | |||
| Abstract | This is one section from the "Iroquois Personal Names" manuscript of Mohawk scholar Charles Cooke (Thawennensere).The whole manuscript contains an alphabetical list of about 6200 Iroquoian names beginning with A, D, E, G, H, J, N, O, R, S, T, V, W, and Y, compiled by Cooke from 1900-1951. Each entry includes phonetic spelling, gender, tribe, location, date, and clan. The name is then analyzed by radicals, with historical information about its bearer (where relevant). Cross reference to variants and from English names of Indians. | ||
| Note | Haudenosaunee names such as those documented in this manuscript are given to Haudenosaunee children by clan mothers according to traditional protocols. These name-giving traditions are actively maintained by Haudenosaunee communities in the present day. Under these protocols, a particular name can only be held by one living person at a time. Researchers not authorized by a Haudenosaunee community to give out names in this manner are advised to observe respectful use of this manuscript and to consult it as a resource for its historical and linguistic information, not as a source for selecting names. | ||
