The cougar has many names in English: it is also known as a puma, mountain lion, panther, mountain cat, catamount and wildcat. The name puma comes straight from the Inca language (Quechua), where it is called poma. Cougar itself probably comes from the Tupi language of Brazil.
In North America just some of the native names are:

∙ 13y agoI am a Mohawk Lakota woman and your question doesn't make sense. Cougar means the same thing to us as it does to other cultures. it is a large wild cat. Also know as a Puma or Mountain Lion.
