Sassacus

With a name like Sassacus, your little one will learn to move confidently, speak loudly, and experience joy freely. This masculine title was most notably borne by a chief of the Pequot, a Native American people who lived in the Thames Valley in what is now Connecticut. Chief Sassacus became ruler of the Pequot in 1632 and was responsible for expanding the tribe's territory into modern-day Long Island, New York. His name is said to derive from Sassakusu, a Massachusett title meaning "he is wild" or "fierce." Though these phrases might paint a picture of a fearsome and vicious figure, you and sweet Sassacus can interpret them differently. Perhaps their "wildness" will manifest as a commitment to pursue only the things that inspire and excite them. For little Sassacus, ferocity could look like never letting another's perspective or lack of belief stop them from dreaming big.
