If memory serves he was something like Chinchuck or Chingahoek, In Swedish he was also referred to something like Soaring Falcon, which most likely mean he was an Eagle in the original because images differ between those bird of prey between the U.S. and Sweden. Sorry, that is as close as I will get, hopefully someone else has better memory or at least the benefit of reading the original.

Close enough - esp. in translation - Chingachgook! Well remembered!
