The first known name of this group was that given
to them by Friar Antonio Salas in 1923, who called them
Sororós. In the 1950s, another Dominican friar
Gil Gomes, who was responsible for the first contacts,
called them Suruí, which is the name that is most
utilized. The Xikrin Kayapó called them Mudjetíre.
In 1961, I identified the word Akwáwa as being
the self-designation of the group, but the anthropologist
Iara Ferraz considers the term Aikewara more appropriate.
