Shenandoah

If you’re looking to connect baby to the flora and fauna of nature, why not go for Shenandoah? This masculine name may remind you of the valley, river, and national park in Virginia of the same name. It’s also believed to be a variant of the Oneida name Skenandoa. Coming from the word oskanutú it can translate to “deer,” connecting your little one to a majestic animal. Deer can grow from an innocent, wide-eyed fawn to a majestic, powerful doe or buck. A name like this can perfectly match baby’s potential for growth in the future. Shenandoah is also believed to come from the Algonquian word schind-han-do-wi, which may translate to “great plain,” “spruce steam,” or “beautiful daughter of the stars.” With a moniker like this, little Shenandoah is sure to feel one with the great outdoors.
