What does “Pocahontas” mean?

Pocahontas (Her name means “Little Mischief”) was the favorite daughter of Powhatan, chief of the area, where the first English settlement was established at Jamestown, Virginia in 1607. She was about 12 when one of the settlers, Captain Joho Smith, was dragged before her father to be clubbed to death. Pocahontas pleaded successfully for his life. Some years later, Pocahontas was taken hostage by the English who wanted her father to return their prisoners. During her time in Jamestown, she converted to Christianity and, to cement Anglo-Native American relations, she married a tobacco planter, John Rolfe. He took her and their baby son to London and they lived there for a year. However, she became homesick and decided to return home, but died of smallpox before she had left England.
