Secoya

You'll find the gender-neutral name Secoya on the same branch as Sacoya, Sequoya, and Sequoia. The Giant Sequoia, the largest of all Earth's trees, gives this Native American moniker its meaning. Evergreen and coniferous, the Giant Sequoia is most associated with the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California. Its name was inspired by Sequoyah, a Cherokee leader who devised a writing system for the Cherokee language. While Sequoyah spent much time documenting the language of his people, little is known of his name's definition. It may derive from siqua, the Cherokee word for "hog," so don't be surprised if your tiny tot is a friend to all kinds of plants, trees, and animals. Even through life's busiest seasons, your Secoya will feel grounded in their name's earthy beginnings.
