A striking gender-neutral name that commands the listener's attention, Dakotah comes from the name of a Native American Sioux tribe and means “friend" or "ally.” The Dakotas are fierce warriors and are known for their gorgeous artwork, intelligence, bravery, and morals—all worthy traits for baby. From 1985, the name surged in popularity for boys. A few years later, parents started naming their daughters Dakota, too. Actress Dakota Fanning certainly popularized the name for females, along with comedian Rosie O'Donnell, who named her daughter Dakota. Dakotah is now an incredibly gender-fluid name that will enable baby to express themselves freely.
