The word Navajo does not come from Spanish. The Spanish learned it in the middle 1500s when they were asking Pueblo Tewa speakers names of the the different Apache related groups. They were told the Dine' were the "Apache of the wide or river bottom fields". "Navahu'u" is Tewa for "farm fields in a valley". Navajo is how the Spanish then spelled it. The Navajo language is related to other Apache languages about the same as Italian is to Spanish or Portuguese. The word Apache is thought to come from the Zuni language word for "enemy" or "stranger" Some other Apache groups were the Jicarilla ("little basket") and Mescalero ( mescal was a food staple) Apache.
