About Muscogee Creek names
Mvskoke, written Muscogee in English, is the people's own name. Creek is the older English name, usually traced to the Ochese Creek towns of colonial Georgia, and it lives on in the wording people search for and in the legal name of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, whose capital is Okmulgee, Oklahoma. The nation grew out of a confederacy of tribal towns such as Coweta, Cusseta, Tuckabatchee and Eufaula, and most of its people were forced west in the removals of the 1830s.
A man's adult name was usually a title earned in his town: a town, clan or animal word followed by Harjo, Fixico, Yahola, Emathla, Micco or Tustenuggee. Micco (mekko) is the title of a town chief and Tustenuggee (tvstvnvke) that of a war leader. Chitto Harjo, Echo Harjo and Tuckabatchee Micco are such names, built on the words for snake, deer and a town. Around 1900, when the allotment rolls were drawn up, many titles became family names, beside English and Scottish surnames such as McIntosh, Grayson and Perryman.
The list keeps historical leaders under the spellings of the records, which is why Tustenuggee, Tustunnuggee and Tustennuggee all occur. Full names pair a given name of the allotment era, or a modern one, with a Muscogee family name. The list is for research, history projects and fiction.
How to choose Muscogee Creek names
- Build a title name the way the records do: a town, clan or animal word first and the title second, as in Cusseta Harjo or Hotulke Fixico. Never put a word from another language in front of a Mvskoke title.
- Pick the period first. Brims, Malatchi and Emistesigo belong to the 1700s, Opothleyahola and Menawa to the removal era, Isparhecher and Chitto Harjo to Indian Territory, and a name such as Marcus Alexander to today.
- Spellings follow the record, not one system. Hadjo, Haujo and Harjo are one title, and so are Emathla and Emarthla, so keep to one spelling inside a project.
- Fus Fixico, Hotgun, Tookpafka Micco and Kono Harjo are the voices of Alexander Posey's Fus Fixico letters of the early 1900s. They suit humor and satire better than a historical drama.
- For the language itself, go to the Muscogee Nation's Mvskoke language program instead of a name list.
Frequently asked questions
Are these real Muscogee (Creek) names?
The historical entries are names of recorded people, such as Opothleyahola, Menawa, Hopoithle Micco and Coosaponakeesa, and the family names are carried by Muscogee families. Title names such as Okfuskee Yahola follow the documented pattern of a town or clan word plus a title, and full names such as Wilson Bigpond are combinations, so either may match a real person only by chance. The list has not been checked by Mvskoke speakers or by the Muscogee Nation.
What is the difference between Muscogee, Mvskoke and Creek?
Mvskoke is the name of the people in their own language, where the letter v stands for a short vowel, and Muscogee is its English spelling. Creek is the older English name from the colonial period. It is still common in searches, in older books and in the legal name of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
What do Harjo and Micco mean?
They are titles that became part of a man's adult name and, later, family names. Micco is the title of a town chief and Tustenuggee that of a war leader, while Harjo is usually explained as recklessly brave, which is why Chitto Harjo was called Crazy Snake in English. The list does not translate the other titles, because published explanations differ.
Are Seminole, Cherokee or Choctaw names included?
No. Many Seminole names are in the Mvskoke language and use the same titles, but the list leaves out the Seminole leaders of the Florida wars. Cherokee and Choctaw are different languages with naming patterns of their own, so use the Cherokee and Choctaw generators for those nations.
