Meaning & History
Allegedly means "I do as I promise" in Chippewa (according to another source, "we will stand together"). It was borne by the wife of 19th-century fur trader Peter Abadie Sarpy (a member of the Iowa tribe of Native Americans). This was used for a male Native American character in the television series 'The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams' (1977) as well as a female friend of the title character in the animated film 'Pocahontas' (1995).
