the history of his name?
FWIW, as I understand it (based on his autobiography and other things I've read), the fact that the name was attached to him in battle made the name all the more significant. The Spanish didn't respect the Chiricahuas or their language, but they sure as hell respected (and feared) the warrior Geronimo.
