A Native American people originally from the Great Plains, known as skilled horsemen; or the Uto-Aztecan language they speak.
From Spanish 'Comanche,' derived from Ute 'Komanchi,' possibly meaning 'wants to fight' or 'one who wants to fight.' The name was applied by Spanish colonizers and adopted into English.
The Comanche were so legendarily skilled at horse warfare that European settlers called their fighting style revolutionary—they could ride horses upside-down and shoot arrows under a galloping horse's belly, techniques that gave them massive military advantages in the 1700s and 1800s.
