Indian name
Native American designation
A name from or associated with Indigenous peoples of the Americas, or a name from the Indian subcontinent—context determines which.
The phrase often refers specifically to traditional Native American names, sometimes called "spirit names," given to mark identity or achievement: His Indian name meant "Runs with Deer".
The term can feel dated or imprecise; many prefer specifying the tribe or culture.
