British people call Mohawks Mohicans or Mohawks for tribe, and for hairstyle British call it Mohican, not Mohawk, with Mohican being British English term for Mohawk hairstyle, while Mohawk is American English term. In British English, the hairstyle with shaved sides and strip down middle is called Mohican, pronounced mo-hee-can, named after Mohicans tribe from James Fenimore Cooper novel Last of the Mohicans, though historically Mohawk tribe wore it, British use Mohican for hairstyle. For tribe, British call them Mohawks as well, but sometimes confuse with Mohicans. So British people call Mohawks Mohican for hairstyle, as in he has a Mohican, meaning Mohawk hairstyle. For tribe, they call them Mohawk Indians or Mohawk Nation, same as American. So answer is British call Mohawk hairstyle a Mohican, while Americans call it Mohawk, with both referring to same strip hairstyle, and tribe called Mohawk in both British and American English, with Mohican being literary name for related but different tribe Mohegan.
