About native american names
Nation tags follow every result, so "Anaba (Navajo)" and "Awinita (Cherokee)" arrive credited to a people instead of blended into one generic pool. The labels matter, since a Pawnee name like "Shiriki" comes from a different language family than an Algonquin one. Use the attribution to keep a character's nation, language, and homeland consistent, and research the specific culture before publishing.

Naming notes
Two templates each return one whole bank entry, one from the male bank and one from the female bank. Most entries are stored as the plain name, so pulls like Samoset or Catori arrive untagged; a rare entry carries attached text, such as Quanah(Comanche) or the hyphen-spelled Ar-Ke-Kee-Tah. There is no surname slot. Treat each result as a single given name drawn from many distinct nations rather than one pan-tribal label.
