Shawney

Celebrate your culture and baby's arrival with Shawney, a gender-neutral name of Native American origin. Taken from the Shawnee tribe, this title is the perfect way to inspire your little one to cherish their heritage. Originally dwelling in the Ohio Valley, the Shawnee described themselves as the "southern people" due to their location in what is now southern Ohio. In the Shawnee language, the phrase ša:wanwa means "person of the south," and later inspired names like Shawnee and Shawney. While baby Shawney is bound to explore all the world has to offer, they'll hold their family traditions and customs close to their heart.
