Hadjo or Hadcho was a Muscogee war title which may be translated as "fearless person", [1] "so brave as to seem crazy", [2] "brave beyond discretion", or "foolhardy". [3]
Most Seminole leaders from the period of the Seminole Wars are known by their war titles, which were always Muscogee in form, no matter what their primary language was. [4] The following hadjos are known from the first half of the 19th century in Florida, primarily from the Seminole Wars:
- Apayaka Hadjo, more commonly known as Abiaka
- Chitto Hadjo, raided northeast Florida in 1842
- Coa Hadjo, arrested under a white flag together with Osceola
- Fuse Hadjo, represented Billy Bowlegs in negotiations with the US Army
- Hallek Hadjo, captured after Battle of Loxahatchee
- Josiah Francis (Hillis Hadjo)
- Ya-ha Hadjo
