Raindancing and Miss Claire have given you the etymological origin.

I'd just like to add that the book you bought is unlikely to have been giving you etymologies or linguistic origins at all. "Meanings" such as "mischievous cowboy" and "business man" would be someone's idea of the present day connotation or image of the names, not their historical origin.
