Its a combination of Shoshone, Cahuilla, Spanish, and English, kind of a hybrid name. I think the Indian words kept getting mispronounced, first by the Spanish, then by English speakers, and the original meaning was probably lost along the way as well. I'm not sure what it means, but I do know that the Shoshone ate chucks.
