Shawnee

Shawnee is a gender-neutral name of Native American origin, meaning “southern people.” This moniker is shared with the Shawnee, an Algonquian-speaking Native American people who once lived in the Ohio Valley. Their warm and musical name comes from the Shawnee phrase ša:wanwa, which directly translates to "person of the south." Sweet and affectionate, Shawnee is a meaningful choice for parents wishing to honor their heritage and share it with their newest addition.
