Minty is the nickname that her mother called her.

I didn't say it out of disrespect. I have much respect for Harriet Tubman.

There's was a short lived television drama called Underground. There's an entire episode about Harriet and her life and work called Minty (Season 2 Episode 6).

I highly recommend watching this series if one hasn't yet.
