Cochise First Name Meaning

Cochise is a gender-neutral name of Native American - Apache origin, meaning "Hardwood." The name is derived from the Apache language, with "Cheis" signifying "having the quality or strength of oak." Cochise was a prominent leader of the Chiricahui local group of the Chokonen and served as the principal nantan of the Chokonen band of the Chiricahua Apache. Known for his resistance against Mexican and American intrusions during the 19th century, Cochise was described as a large man with classical features and long, black hair. His leadership during the Apache Wars, which lasted from 1861 to 1872, led to the negotiation of a peace treaty. Cochise County in Arizona is named in his honor. Despite his legacy as a warrior and leader, Cochise is also remembered for his role in negotiating a peace treaty, signifying resilience and diplomacy.
