Before 1700, the name was vague. Between 1720 and 1726, it referred to Apache between the [[Rio Grande]], the [[Pecos River]], the area around [[Santa Fe, New Mexico|Santa Fe]], and the [[Conchos River]]. After 1726, ''Faraones'' only referred to the groups of the north and central parts of this region. The Faraones like were part of the modern-day Mescalero or merged with them. After 1814, the term ''Faraones'' disappeared and was replaced by ''Mescalero''.

*'''[[Natagés]]''' (also ''Natagees'', ''Apaches del Natafé'', ''Natagêes'', ''Yabipais Natagé'', ''Natageses'', ''Natajes'') is a term used from 1726 to 1820 to refer to the Faraón, Sierra Blanca, and Siete Ríos Apaches of southeastern New Mexico. In 1745, the Natagé are reported to have consisted of the Mescalero (around [[El Paso]] and the [[Organ Mountains]]) and the [[Salinero Apaches|Salinero]] (around [[Rio Salado (New Mexico)|Rio Salado]]), but these were probably the same group, were oft called by the Spanish and Apaches themselves ''true Apaches'', had had a considerable influence on the decision making of some bands of the Western Lipan in the 18th century. After 1749, the term became synonymous with Mescalero, which eventually replaced it.
