Etymology
Yosemite comes from a Native American word Yohhe'meti, which people often say means 'they are killers', a name local groups used for another tribe in the valley. Early visitors heard and kept this strong name, so today Yosemite is the famous park and valley known for its dramatic cliffs and waterfalls.
