Various strange meanings have been attributed to this name, which was really tekoomse or tikamthi in the Shawnee language. It means "one who moves from one point to another" or "one who leaps across".

In Shawnee religious tradition this refers to a meteor or "sky panther", "great medicine panther" or a shooting star, but does not itself mean any of those things. So the translations of the name as Shooting Star or Panther Across the Sky are incorrect.
