About Huron
The name "Huron" is derived from the French word "hure," meaning "bristle" or "rough hair." It was used by French explorers to refer to the Wyandot people, a Native American tribe. The name likely originated from the distinctive hairstyle of the Wyandot warriors, who would shave their heads except for a single strip of hair running down the center, resembling a bristle or rough hair. Today, "Huron" is primarily associated with the historical Native American tribe and the Great Lakes region they inhabited.
