Like most of the names of North American tribes we use today the term "Shoshone" is not the name used by the Shoshone people, who call themselves Newe (nuh-wuh), meaning "the people".
Some scholars believe that they got their name from the Lakota Sioux who have a word shushunah ("people who live in grass houses"), but this may be incorrect since only certain parts of the Shoshone tribe used such dwellings. It may possibly come from the Cheyenne term ShÇshÇnoats-hitäneo, 'snake people', the Cheyenne name for the Comanche (who speak a language very close to that of the Shoshone).
The real origin is lost.
