It is speculated that the name derives from the Choctaw words bok meaning river and fuka meaning home or residence in the Choctaw language. The name Bokfuka was given to a Choctaw chief that attacked the German Coast of Louisiana in the year 1747. Then in the year 1802 Louis-Narcisse Baudry Des Lozieres documents the name of the tribe and used the French transliteration of Bonifoucas.
