Sacoya

Rich in sound and history, Sacoya is a truly unique name with Native American origins. This gender-neutral moniker is most likely a variant of Sequoia, a title that may remind you of the Giant Sequoia, a coniferous evergreen tree of the cypress family. Austrian botanist Stephen Endlicher named this magnificent tree in honor of Sequoyah, a Cherokee leader who is credited with inventing the Cherokee writing system. His name's exact definition is somewhat uncertain, though it may stem from siqua, a Cherokee word that translates to "hog." Calling baby Sacoya might inspire their future love of botany and encourage them to grow big, tall, and strong.
