Mohegan is a masculine name that also describes a Native American tribe. The Mohegans are an Algonquian-speaking people who originally dwelt in areas in southeastern Connecticut. Their name possibly comes from the Algonquian word mahìgan, ultimately translating to “people of the wolf.” The wolf is a majestic animal that is rich with symbolism, representing loyalty, successful hunts, and many other traits to inspire your little one. For a name that connects baby to their heritage and the strength of a long-revered creature, Mohegan is a top contender.
