Cherokee

Etymology
Most likely from the autonym. Derivation from a exonym meaning "those who live in caves" (compare ) has also been suggested — the Iroquois term for the Cherokee was  — as has derivation from a  term for "person(s) who speak(s) a non-Creek language" (see ).

Whatever its origin, the ethnonym entered European languages at an early date, perhaps as early as the 1670s; in Spanish, the people are called the Tchalaquei as early as 1755.
