Saquoia

Saquoia is a gender-neutral name deeply grounded in Native American tradition, the Earth, and the written word. One of many respellings of Sequoia, Saquoia is closely connected to the Giant Sequoia, a coniferous evergreen tree found in California's Sierra Nevada mountain range. The tree was named in honor of Sequoyah, a Cherokee leader who created the Cherokee writing system. While Sequoyah's life work was dedicated to documenting the written word, his name's definition remains quite a mystery! It may stem from siqua, a Cherokee word meaning "hog." Every time your Saquoia puts pen to paper or plants the seed of a new idea, they'll be reminded of their name's beautiful story.
