Origin:Spanish
Meaning:Table; April; Middle; Medlar
Your little cherub will become a part of the furniture, so it’s only fitting that their name describes an item found in many homes! In Spanish, the word mesa means "table," a piece known for its sturdiness and free-standing abilities. Perhaps your Mesa will be just as serene and unshakeable, approaching every situation with a calm mind and helpful attitude. Beneath this more direct translation lies some of Mesa's other potential origins, like the Khmer word meysā. Translating to "April,"meysā connects Mesa to the fourth month of the year, making it a great choice for an April arrival! The Roman title Mesalina, meaning "middle" or "medlar," can also be shortened to Mesa.
