The name Hawkeye has no biblical history or references in scripture. It is an English nickname or descriptive name, combining "hawk" (the bird of prey known for keen vision) and "eye," thus meaning "sharp-eyed" or "keen-sighted." The name was famously borne by Hawkeye (Natty Bumppo) in James Fenimore Coopers "Leatherstocking Tales" novels, beginning with "The Last of the Mohicans" (1826).

He is brilliant, irreverent, anti-authoritarian, and deeply compassionate, using humor and sarcasm to cope with the horror of war.
