Meaning:Great thunder
Wakoyantanke is a masculine name. Thanks to its rarity, the meaning and origin of this moniker could be considered somewhat of a mystery, allowing baby to draw their own inspiration and make the title their own. It may stem from the Native American Lakota language, and the phrase wa-kin-yan tanka, meaning "great thunder." In Native American mythology, the thunderbird was a powerful spirit who appeared in the form of a bird. Every beat of its wings was thought to represent a roll of thunder, a sign of its immense strength. While they may be a little weary of the noise at first, your Wakoyantanke will one day marvel at the work of the elements.
