One way to hold Chippewa is as a single name doing three jobs. Picture the people themselves, standing together: from that one group you can point at the whole of them, at one person inside it, or at the words they speak. English does not change the name for any of these — only the grammar around it moves.
Chippewa comes from the people's own word in their language, Ojibwe, taken from an eastern dialect in which the first vowel is reduced. Compare the earlier English spelling Ojibwa. The form Chippewa is recorded in English from the mid 18th century.
Chippewa 這個字來自族人自己的語言：Ojibwe 語中的 ojibwe，取自一種東部方言，開頭的母音變弱後，英文就寫成了 Chippewa。更早進入英文的拼法是 Ojibwa。英文從十八世紀中葉開始有 Chippewa 的紀錄。也就是說，族名、人、語言三個用法共用同一個來源，難怪英文沒有把它們拆成不同的字。
