Mandan

Mandan is a masculine name of Native American origin. It's known most commonly as the name of a tribe from the upper region of the Missouri River. The Indigenous people of this region are a testament to perseverance. In 1837, the Native peoples experienced a nearly detrimental bout of smallpox, as well as a fire destroying their settlement in 1861. Some might say the fire was the last straw, but there are still Mandan people today living in North Dakota and all over the world. A name like Mandan can help your child feel connected to an incredible legacy.
