we-no-na
US Popularity:28688
Origin:Native American
Meaning:Firstborn daughter
Wenona is a beautiful name for girls. While American actress Winona Ryder certainly played a part in popularizing the name, it’s actually derived from Winúŋna, a Native American Dakota or Lakota term for “firstborn daughter.” And as is, it was typically reserved for such an occasion. You can follow suit and choose Wenona for your firstborn. It’s also a great way for your kiddo to take their heritage wherever they go.
