The Serrano are an Indigenous people of California. Their autonyms are Taaqtam meaning "people", Maarrênga’yam meaning "people from Morongo", and Yuhaaviatam meaning "people of the pines."[2][non-primary source needed]
Today the Maarrênga'yam are enrolled in the Morongo Band of Mission Indians, and the Yuhaviatam are enrolled in the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians. Some other Serrano people are enrolled in the Soboba Band of Luiseno Indians.[3]
