António Filipe Camarão (c. 1580 – August 24, 1648) was an indigenous Brazilian from the tribe of the Potiguara near the Rio Grande do Norte area of the Portuguese colony of Brazil. His original tribal name was Poti, which means prawn (Portuguese Camarão). He was born in the neighbourhood of Igapó, in Natal, or, according to some other historians, in the state of Pernambuco, or in Aldeia Velha. On the occasion of his conversion to the Christian faith on June 13, 1612 (the feast day of Saint Anthony) he chose the Portuguese version of the name António and the middle name of Filipe in honor of King Philip II of Portugal, adding the Portuguese version of his tribal name Poti (Camarão in Portuguese). He married the very next day in the Capela de São Miguel de Guajeru to a lady from his tribe who also converted to Christianity and took the name Clara. Besides knowing perfect Portuguese, he was also well-versed in Latin because of his education in a missionary school led by Jesuit monks. Since 1630, he fought against the Dutchmen, who tried to take over Brazil. He fought them as the leader of an Indian regiment on various battles until his death in 1648. The last year of his life brought him to the top of his military career as leader of the right flank of the United Portuguese Army during the First Battle of Guararapes against General Arcizewski. By royal decision, António Filipe Camarão was given the right to use the title "Dom". He was also a knight commander of the Order of Christ,[1] the most prestigious order of Portugal. He is buried in Várzea in Pernambuco, Brazil on August 24, 1648. There are several ways of writing the name. In Brazil, for example, it is common to read the name in the archaic spelling "Felipe Camarão" or "Antônio Felipe Camarão". Further reading
