What's in a name?

The name "One Fat Elephant' is derived from Hindu mythology, where Ganesh is the fat little god with an elephant head.  One of the most popular gods in India, Ganesh is considered a symbol of wisdom and a bringer of good luck. 

Naga Tribes

Heres' an interesting extract from a history of the Naga tribes.

"In this world of a war of all against all, The Naga's added the ritual importance of head-hunting.  Life was given it's central purpose by the quest for heads.  Boys would not become men without the ritual tattooing only to be undertaken after a successful head-hunt; girls would not be attracted to men without the spendid head-hunting dance and decorations.  Success and merit in every field depended on heads."
