Relating to the Comanche people of North America, or pertaining to the geological Comanche Series from the Cretaceous period.
From 'Comanche' (from Ute/Spanish sources, possibly meaning 'those who want to fight') with the suffix '-ean.' Used both ethnographically and in geological naming.
The Comanche were the fiercest mounted warriors on the Great Plains—they invented incredible cavalry tactics that the U.S. military studied for decades, and the geology term 'Comanchean' honors them indirectly!
