The name they call themselves in the Navajo language is Diné or T'áá Diné. It means Navajo or man or person. It is two syllable. The mark over the e is a high tone mark not a accent mark. Navajo is a tonal language. The i is said as in "bit", the e is short and said as in "bed".
The word Navajo comes from the Spanish hearing and spelling of a Tewa Pueblo Indian word meaning wide fields or river bottom fields. It has sometimes been spelled Navaho as that is how it sounds to English speakers.
In Navajo language (Diné bizaad) sometimes it is Naabeehó Dine'é,(Navajo tribe) which is the Navajo pronunciation of the Spanish word Navajo. The Navajo were not in different tribal grouping like some other tribes so there really is only one name. There are about 72 clans but you are not supposed to marry anyone in any of the four clans of your grandparents or clans related to those clans so over time the family ties are all mixed. Navajo country is Dinétah (old Navajo country) or Diné Bikéyah or Naabeehó Bináhásdzo.
