Forms: 1800s Nepercy, 1800s Nepersee, 1800s Nes Perces, 1800s Nez percez, 1800s Nezpercies, 1800s Nez Pierces, 1800s– Nez Perce, 1800s– Nez Percé.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymon: French Nez Percé.

Etymology: < French Nez Percé, literally ‘pierced nose’ (referring to the early 19th-cent. custom of wearing a dentalium shell through the nasal septum) < nez nose (early 12th cent. in Old French as nés ; < classical Latin nāsus : see nase n.) + percé , past participle of percer pierce v. The name is not documented in French sources prior to its earliest appearance in English, but Meriwether Lewis's references to ‘persed nosed Indians’ and ‘Pierced nosed indians’ (1805 Jrnl. 14 Aug. in Jrnls. Lewis & Clark Exped. (1988) V. 89 and 90) must reflect the use of the French name by his French-speaking guide.According to Jrnls. Lewis & Clark Exped., some French traders also applied the name mistakenly to the Iowa Indians. Pronunciations wholly or partly imitating French are now only hypercorrect spelling pronunciations.

A. n.
