What does Pomp's name mean?

There is some dispute about the name of Tsakakawia's son, who was born during the Lewis and Clark expedition.One version of the story admits that the boy's real name was Jean Baptiste Charbonneau, but Clark named the boy Pomp or Pompy because of his pompous behaviourAnother version claims that Pomp means "first born" in ShoshoneAnother version claims that Pomp means "leader" in ShoshoneAnother version claims that Pompey is simply an Anglicised version of the Latin name Pompeius - and this version has Clark calling him by that classical nameLinguistic analysis will destroy the idea that Pomp means "first born" - it definitely does not. The Shoshone word pampimeans head (as in the thing on your shoulders), not leader, not chief and not first born. It is by no means certain that this is the word used by his mother.This is a good example of large numbers of modern websites each quoting another and all giving false information.

What nickname did Clark give Sacagawea's son?

William Clark gave Sacagwea's son, Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau, the nickname "Pompy". Clark also liked to refer to him as "my boy Pomp" and some Shoshone say pomp is a Shoshone word meaning "first born". Clark also named "Pompy's Tower" and nearby Baptiste's Creek near Billings, Montana in his honor. Sacagawea gave birth during the expedition to Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau on February 11, 1805. William Clark became fond of the child and nicknamed him "Pomp" or "Little Pompy". After the expedition, William Clark offered Toussaint and his family a place in St. Louis and a proper education for Jean-Baptiste (at a time where there was no opportunity for Native Americans to receive an education). After the death of Sacagawea, Charbonneau signed over formal custody of his son and his daughter Lisette to William Clark.
