'''Navajo''' (sometimes written ''Navaho''), or '''Diné''', (meaning ''The People'' in [[Navajo language|Navajo]]) refers or relates to the '''[[Navajo people]]''', currently the second largest [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] tribe in the United States, with 298,197 people claiming to be full or partial Navajo in the 2000 [[United States Census|U.S. census]].<ref name=Census_2002>{{cite web | title = The American Indian and Alaska Native Population: 2000 | work = Census 2000 Brief| url = http://www.census.gov/prod/2002pubs/c2kbr01-15.pdf | date = 2002-02-01 |accessdate = 2007-03-10}}</ref>
The name Navajo likely originated from the Spanish, <ref>Hoezee, S. and C. Meehan: <i>Flourishing in the Land</i>, page 5. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1996</ref> who may have taken the name from the Tewa language's original word, "navahu" meaning ‘fields adjoining an arroyo.’<ref>"Navajo" <i>New Oxford American Dicionary</i> Apple Computer, 2005.</ref> The '''[[Navajo Nation|Navajo Nation's]]''' reservation encompasses the [[Four Corners (United States)|Four Corners region]] of northern Arizona, southern Utah, and northern New Mexico, over 16 million acres (65,000 km²). The term ''Navajo'' also refers to the '''[[Navajo language]]'''.
