Mojave

If your little one is as essential as water and as sacred as the sun, consider the Native American boy's name, Mojave. Beyond its geographical association with California and Nevada, Mojave derives its meaning, "people by the water," from the Native American Mojave people. Traditionally residing along the lower Colorado River, the Mojave viewed water as a necessity for all things. Their rich culture included gathering plants like Datura for use in religious rituals, adding a beautiful layer of meaning to this unique and nature-infused name.
