Pressley, Sue Ann (18.12.1993). «'The People' Ask What's in a Name for The Navajo». The Washington Post. «Some say the name was bestowed by Spanish explorers in the 1600s to denote a sharp knife or blade, a pejorative allusion to warrior-like behavior. Some contend that Navajo means thief. And still others, taking a milder view, say Navajo came from the Pueblo language and means "a piece of ground."»
