==Name==
The name Absarokee is derived from ''Apsáalookěi'', the name given to the Crow Indian Tribe by the related Hidatsa people with ''Apsáa'' meaning "large-beaked bird" and ''lookěi'' meaning "children". ''Apsáalookěi'' thus literally means "children of the large-beaked bird".〔Names on the face of Montana: the story of Montana's place names. Roberta Carkeek Cheney. Mountain Press Pub. Co., Aug 1, 1983
〕 (The name "Crow" comes from the French ''gens du corbeaux'' or "people of the crows" as ''Apsáalookěi ''was translated by French fur traders in 1743.)〔Minahan, James B. Ethnic Groups of the Americas: An Encyclopedia (Google eBook).ABC-CLIO, Mar 14, 2013〕 The name was chosen by Absarokee-founder Sever T. Simonson who believe it meant "our people".〔()〕 It is widely believed that the difference in spelling of Absarokee from the nearby Absaroka Range is a result of the poor penmanship of an early settler whose final "a" in the name was mistaken for "ee".〔Montana Place Names: From Alzada to Zortman.

〕 Though pronounced "Ab-SOR-kee" in modern parlance, Eli Ricker in one of his "Indian Interviews" from 1903-1919 ends a record of an interview with Frank S. Shively, Assistant Clerk at Crow Agency with "Absarokee Ab-sar'-o-kee".〔Ricker, Eli Seavey. Voices of the American West: The Indian Interviews of Eli S. Ricker, 1903-1919, Volume 1.
