A few other common variants I've seen (as a settler encountering Anishinaabe art) are Nanabush [noted -ed] and Nanaboozhoo. The name is also the etymology for the common Ojibwe greeting "boozhoo" (which is often confused with French "bonjour" but is totally unrelated). Nanabush notably appears as a character in two plays by Cree writer Tomson Highway, both set on a fictional Cree-Ojibwe reserve called Wasaychigan Hill: The Rez Sisters, where Nanabush is male, and Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing, where Nanabush is female.
