Meaning:The Strait; Neck of land; Thunder of waters
Famously the home of one of the world’s most incredible waterfalls, Niagara holds Native American origins and is considered a feminine name. Niagara is the Anglicized form of the Iroquoian word Onguiaahra, meaning “the strait,” or “neck of land.” A more poetic definition of Niagara is “thunder of waters,” ideal for the baby whose rambunctious energy can only be matched by the majestic Niagara Falls.
