What to Consider When Choosing a Native American Baby Name

Whether or not you have Native American ties, it’s important to understand that many Native American baby boy names and girl names have certain meanings. Some names may represent a specific word or phrase, while other names may be associated with a specific tribe or region. Do your research, discover the history behind these names and learn to properly pronounce them to show respect to the culture.

When choosing a Native American baby girl name or baby boy name, you’ll come across both popular and uncommon names. Also, some of the spelling—and pronunciation—of these names may differ depending on their origin. While it’s perfectly fine to want to choose a unique name with a unique spelling, make sure it’s not too complicated for others to understand. Not sure about your choice? Run the name and spelling by your friends and family to get their first impression.

Once you have narrowed down some choices, be sure to test them out with baby’s last name. In doing so, you may find you prefer a longer name, or maybe a name with fewer syllables pairs better with the last name. You may also discover certain letters or sounds flow better with their last name, too.
