Mendota

Gift baby with a name to help them go with the flow! Mendota is a gender-neutral name of Native American—or more specifically, Dakota—origin, and refers to the "confluence of rivers." Mendota is the name of both a city and a lake in the Dakota County of Minnesota, and, as a given name, it would serve as a lovely homage to the land. With such a name, baby Mendota will always feel connected to the world around them and is sure to be able to navigate even the harshest of waters.
