Meaning:Greenish-blue earth
Mankato, like so many Native American names, is an homage to this vast world around us. This masculine pick comes from Mahkato, a Dakota word meaning "greenish-blue earth." It originates from the clay soil found on the banks of the Blue Earth River of southern Minnesota. Wherever your kiddo calls home, Mankato is a stellar choice for celebrating indigenous roots and the beauty of planet Earth!
