found: Schmal, John P. Michoacán, a struggle for identity on Houston Institute for Culture WWW site March 21, 2022(The Tarascans of Michoacán have always called themselves Purhépecha. However, early in the Sixteenth Century, the Spaniards gave the Purhépecha a name from their own language. The name of these Indians, Tarascos, was derived from the native word tarascué, meaning relatives or brother-in-law. According to Fray (Friar) Martín Coruña, it was a term the natives used mockingly for the Spaniards, who regularly violated their women. But the Spaniards mistakenly took it up, and the Spanish word Tarasco (and its English equivalent, Tarascan), is commonly used today to describe the Indians who call themselves Purhépecha. Today both the people and their language are known as Tarasca. But Professor Verástique comments that the word Tarasco "carries pejorative connotations of loathsomeness and disgust.")

found: UNC-Chapel Hill online catalog, March 29, 2022(in a survey of catalog records in the catalog of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the term P'urepecha or Purepecha gradually replaced the usage of Tarascan in the titles in the catalog, the majority of works using Tarascan or a variant of that word were published between 1902 and the 1970's, after which Purepecha, or a variant of that term began to predominate both in English and Spanish language texts. This can also be seen in the predominance of the word in the more recent citations; additional research indicates that research indicates that the term Tarascan, although previously widely used, is considered pejorative by the people who are being described by it)
