George Washington was given the name “Burner of Towns” or “Town Destryoer” by the Iroquois. He was either given it as an honorific during the French and Indian War when he was adopted by the Seneca, or as an epithet after the Sullivan Expedition during the American Revolution destroyed at least forty Iroquois villages. Or perhaps it was originally meant to honor his martial ardor but developed new significance over time. Some Iroquois still use the name for any American president.
