Best name ever

[deralte]

I was reading article on instances of women participating in warfare in the upper Missouri area, and discussions of fourth gender and differing performances of female gender in those societies, and I came upon this quote.

"A Crow oral history depicts a situation where a mother dispatched her son's enemy by smashing the assailant's head with her hatchet; subsequently, her son's name became He-kills-with-his-mother."

That has to be one of the top ten most awesome and hilarious names in history.

I wonder if they meant it in the sense of "he fights along side his mother" or in the sense that "his mother is his secret weapon"

That is one of the questions the article implies:) It's hard to get a real answer though.
