Etymology
The Powhatan Nation is named after the Powhatan indigenous people who compose the nation. The name "Powhatan" is derived from the Powhatan name "Powhata," which has been interpreted as either meaning "those who hunt" or "buffalope hunters." The name "United Council Fires" is an indigenous way of stating that the Powhatan Nation is a confederation while also denoting their method of meeting around "council fires."
