Two cents worth on Osage Names:

In the Osage Tribe, known as a Warrior Tribe, Warrior names often changed
with the couragous deeds of that Warrior. A man could be expected to be
given several names over a lifetime.

When Western Man married into the Osage Tribe, the women of the Tribe, at
times, passed their white name down through their daughters. It is not
unusual to find the all the daughters of an Osage man carrying the last name
of his father-in-law or even grand father-in-law, while his sons carried an
earned name.
