Goyathlay: The Yawner
Geronimo: Jerome
The story I heard is the Mexican soldiers were heard praying to St. Jerome to save them. Anglos hearing them cry out to Geronimo thought that was Goyathlay’s name.
Geronimo stuck, Goyathlay was lost in history.

The way it was first reported, Geronimo was the code name for Bin Laden. It was not the name of the “operation”. But, heck, all the other details have changed almost daily for a week, so who really knows?

But it seems like a good match as Geronimo was basically a terrorist who was pursued for years by the U.S. and the Mexicans before his capture. They didn’t spend all that time and effort chasing Geronimo for his autograph.

Actually, Goyathlay was pursued by the U.S. Army for approximately 5 years before he agreed to turn himself in. He surrendered himself without being surrounded or even close to being found. Otherwise it may have taken ten years to capture or kill him.
