The Word "chipmunk" originates from the Ojibwe Word "ajidamoo," which translates to "red squirrel." The Ojibwe language is spoken by the indigenous Ojibwe people of North America. The English Word "chipmunk" is believed to have been derived from a combination of the Ojibwe Word and the sound the animal makes ("chip-chip-chip").
