The history of the "Geronimo" term is well explained in Wikipedia (of all places!!) In short, it was a cry made by US paratroopers when leaping from the plane during WWII.

I note, with relief, that the US Army asked permission of the actual (native American) Geronimo's family to use the name on their insignia patch.
